[QUOTE="Stellar, post: 732458, member: 364450"] Seems I cannot PM you. Anyhow.. so If I have a motorised dish - I can theoretically watch anything I can 'catch'? My must-haves are: (1) Quantity! Maximum possible channels - preferably English - but I dont mind other languages. (Kids might learn something!) (2) TV sitcoms/shows/Movies/Films would be nice. Again, preferably english. (3) Link to Dubai! Thats where a lot of Asian/Hindi/Urdu (ARY/Geo/Indian films/etc) channels have their broadcast centers based in (along with Singapore) - so I can atleast hook into that part of the world. [U]Satelliteman suggested[/U]: [I]The BIG Bisat would be ideal with around 5°E through to 28°E or the BISAT G4, all from a single dish. Badr-4 26.0°E would cater for some of your programming as would 13°E.[/I] I assume with the motorised dish I would be able to get them all (and more)? My concerns are: (1) Speed of channel switching - how many seconds between channel changes? If someone is madly flipping the channels - will it go crazy/break? (2) Is there a receiver that can store/sort channels by satellite/angle/degrees so I can flip thru the entire feed before the motor kicks in? (3) Dont the motors get damaged over time - given our rainy/wet climate? How often would I be seeking repairs? Finally what receiver would you RECOMMEND I get - something that will perform without odd hiccups - and will last me a long time. (How many feeds are in HD nowadays?) Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
