Well I shall be tackling my sat dish and motor today to see if I can re-align after the bad Christmas winds knocked it ski-wiff. The motor is a highly trusty HH motor and the dish is a 80cm some unknown brand (not sure about the quad LNB).
After well over 10 years the dish is looking worse for wear and looks unsightly so I'm pretty sure that will be the first to get changed out. Any advise on a good cheap quality dish and would a mesh dish help with the winds ?.
Next the motor, I've read that the HH stab motor (think its a HH 100 could be a 120) are about the best on the market and at first site it works OK. I have had in the past a few problems were the motor gets confused and you have to keep going to "0" in the positioner setup so the motor can get it's bearings but if it works then I can save a few bob but, what would be a good alternative for a 88-90cm dish ?. Also , can you go inside these and grease up or something ?
Finally the quad LNB, the dish serves living room (main box) and the other rooms upstairs for the kids. I really don't know whats on at the moment other than it's a quad so, does it make a difference the make quality wise and the DB ? which would be a good option ?.
I might not change the lot , I might only change the dish but if I have to then any advice on which brands would be handy and any links to eBay or stores would be great. It doesn't have to be the best brands just reliable for a few years.
