[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 157324, member: 176912"] We go round this loop many times (...a week probably). Actually, the answer is always the same. Most 'high end' (LOL) DiSEqC motors are rated [I]up to[/I] 1.2m dish capable. That's the [I]manufacturers'[/I] recommended upper limit. Go over it, and you're pushing your luck. Stay well under it and you're probably OK. The closer you get to the limit the more likely it is that the motor will suffer loading detrimental to its continued trouble-free operation. That's what it says on the box. Sheltering it will reduce the load and therefore the risk. Stick it above the roofline in a windy area and watch it self destruct PDQ. 36V systems are generally stronger and more powerful, but more expensive. You need to apply you're own way of thinking to the above facts. But before you torture yourself with the decision as to which route to take, check your bank account. If all you can afford is DiSEqC then the choice is DiSEqC. Balance the various factors (location, wind-factor, cost, required longevity/reliability) then factor in the amount of risk you're comfortable with and make your choice. See? It's easy! :P STICK [/QUOTE]
