Beer in hand, admiring a stationary dish is ok, but beer in hand admiring a dish in motion is better.

H-H has more range than polar mount, I read that someplace. I'm sure I did, lol. I have a nice
shiny pole ready to try one out on, since I have never had an h-h motor of any kind. My polar-mount conversion works ok from AMC6 to AMC7 but takes a while to get there, but that's as far as I can get it to go.

An HH motor would be great for anyone in the need of adjusting their dish, espescially in the Winter time.

because h to h motors are cool to show to people that have never seen a c-band type antenna. or they think dish or direct are to only ones up there.

Motorize your dish because it opens a whole WORLD of TV viewing!

Motorized dish is the only practical way to get birds 2 degrees apart with the same dish.

Yea, that's the truth! -
Most dishes don't stand a chance at 2° without a motor under them!
Some of us are fighting that battle, but most guys just don't have "the right stuff"!

With a dish big enough to ward off the rain, and get those weak 'n pesky signals, you need a big motor.
This one looks like just what the Doctor ordered!
I've been sidetracked on other projects, but getting one of these is on my list! -
Thanks for putting this motor up for a contest. We appreciate it a lot!

Now, if we could just get a comprehensive review posted, that'd really spur sales!

It's impossible to have too many FTA dishes with HH motors.

Versatility is the name of the game with satellite TV. A motor gives someone many more options.
