[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 530610, member: 256551"] Hi, Mesh dishes or to be correct perforated dishes theoretically should perform the same, because the holes are too small for the microwaves to pass through. However, practically I don't believe this to be the case, more due to the quality of them, and deformation. A motorised dish, well, to keep it simple as you asked, just rotates on one axis. But because the exis is leaning over a bit, it transcribes an arc. At zero position the dish is at the top of the arc, and as you move it further away to the east or west, the dish elevation drops. See this:- [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dish-setup-single-sat-multi-sat-motorised-systems/117335-satellite-arc.html[/url] and this [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dish-setup-single-sat-multi-sat-motorised-systems/129463-quick-reference-motor-installation-guide-pdf.html[/url] also see rolfws diseqc motorsetup sticky for a more thorough guide.
