I'll have one of the guys there find out what the scoop is.

Anybody notice how much this thing physically weighs?

While you're at it have him find out what the state of DVB-S2 receivers are in Germany. THAT is a group buy I could get interested in, since none of the manufacturers (HELLO? FORTEC?) want to bring us one and they're all over Europe.

Upon Google search, the price from the German site I looked at was 116E, or via online converter - $176 US dollars. It did not include any shipping.

Thats about the same price I seen....$180 USD....for motor.

$150 Shipping.

I was surfing through some of their receivers...

Seems like Europeans have us North Americans at a disadvantage. They have way better receivers available to them.

But some of them are pricey.

$599 Euro's for this one but it has DVB-S2.

Linux receivers are popular here in Europe because most people share their cards between them.

I would not recommend putting the Andrew 1.8m SMC dish on the Jaeger 1224 as Jaeger doesn't have the same strength in their material as before.

sells a upgraded 1224 motor that is much stronger.

There are many reports of the metal housing cracking when having too heavy dishes.

This motor is perfect for a dish like Andrew/Channel Master 120 or a lighweight dish like Gibertini 150cm,.

You can see my gallery on this site for the 1224 mounted on my 90cm Gregorian dish.

It's a damn noisy motor

Thank YOU very much for that info...

Saved me wasting money on old version.

I have emailed a dealer in UK and he confirmed that 1.8 Andrews CM is too much dish for 1224...

Cool video....and your right....loud.

I am in the UK and have used a few 1224 and they are good quality i buy them to use on ASC / ANDREW dishes are i am in the trade i can also buy the 1224 adaptor plate that lets you put it on a asc / andrew dish

Likvid is right the 1.8m andrew is to big for a 1224 i know some one who put a 1.8m andrew on a 1224 and the 1224 only lasted a few hours
