Ok, I’m new to this satellite game, I’ve done some reading around and I’m getting more clued up but I’m still not 100% sure about what I’m doing so I thought I would seek advice from those who do.
I want to be able to watch Russian TV and looking at the LyngSat maps I need to use a 55-90cm dish. So I figured I would use 1m just to help get the best signal. So the first question I have is this. Mesh or solid dish, is there really that bigger difference with the signal capture?
Next is a query about motorised dishes. How do these work? Does it move the dish from East to West? Or, do you set the dish to your direction e.g. East, and the motor moves the inclination to enable you to switch between different satellites. Also do they have a maximum inclination as the satellite I wish to lock onto is Express AM1 @ 40.0 E.
If the motor won’t do what I want then I may just use two dishes, one fixed to Express AM1 and the other to Hotbird 6. Unless of course there is a way to fix the one dish and use 2 LNBs to except the two signals.
Any advice is greatly appreciated and I’m sure once I have answers to these questions I will have more to ask to help fine tune my setup.
