Thread: Enter to win: Sadoun Powertech DG380 HH Motor - End 2/28/09

HH motor is the best way to scan the arc and it takes all the "supposed fun" out of manually aimng at a new bird.

I'll go even one better. It is a Good idea to use a GOOD motor to motorize an FTA Dish. If you use a bad motor, you'll have weak channels that come and go because the motor doesn't always return to the same spot, or the wind will be able to move it out of alignment.

A good, stout HH motor, properly installed allows you to scan all the available orbital slots in your range. It allows you to just switch channels in your favorites list and automatically go to the right bird. Under manual control, you can easily locate unadvertised satellites, either new ones in testing phase or old ones that have been retired in place, but still carry occasional programming.

An HH motor is absolutely essential for those stuck in a CCR environment that only allows one dish. The motor allows you to enjoy multiple spacecraft instead of just one.

There is also a certain 'cool factor' to neighbors and visitors to see dishes magically moving around by themselves.

Besides, with the economy going in the crapper, I just got hit with a 5% pay cut. So if I don't win a motor, I won't have one for a long, long time.

We're not all as FTA tech savvy as Iceberg who can rig 8+ lnbs to one dish and receiver. The HH motors are a nice way to watch all my channels with just one lnb hooked up to the receiver.

1 dish + 1 LNB, = 1 Bird. Add the "DG380 HH Motor" to the equation, and the birds on the Clarke's belt are defenless!

I have one that tops all of these. I just bought a sg2100 from Sadoun 6 months ago and I have loved everthing about it. I recently decided to add some boxes to extra rooms and I some how got the motor confused, so a re set was needed. But the reset button was kind of half in and half out and I could not get it pressed to make it reset. Thats when the trouble started , I took an object that was not intented to push buttons and inserted it onto the what was now a hole. Needless to say I fried it. It was my fault. Now I am having with drawls. Winning this motor would truely be a gift from both sadoun and god. And there for the best reason to add a motor to a dish is so that MY family can watch tv again! To me that trumps them all.

The best thing of all is that FTA alwayas has something new for you. with this HH motor I will see more channels. Thanks Sadoun for this experience

I can personally reccomend getting and using an DG-380 motor for tracking the ClarkBelt. It is the best motor I have used to date.

I have been using one for almost a year now. I am swinging a pretty heavy dish with it and it is fully exposed to wind. No mechanical failures or adjustments needed.

It works very well in -35 deg Celcius weather to.

Far superior to the SG2100.

I said it before and I still believe in it. It is much easier to use a HH motor to rotate your dish than to have SO go out in the weather to do it for you.. Hehe.

But again thanks to Sadoun/SatelliteGuys for having these contests. It's second best to actually reading all the threads
