H to H motors make FTA life a lot easier, without one you are always missing something unless you have a yard full of dishes. They are easy to set up, automatically adjust skew polarity, and can save some $$ in feedline and extra LNBs. Only drawback is wait time when switching sats; but it is a lot faster than running outside with the tools to do it manually!
Great contest Sadoun!

Having owned motors almost all my FTA life, not having one is like not having an LNB. You can go from satellite to satellite with a push of a button.

Plus it plain looks cool moving back and fourth.

Thanks Sadoun for the contest!

Having a motorized system is great. You can scare the neighbors when they are outside, they hear a noise and see your dish moving across the arc. They think its going wacko!

Using an HH motor is the best way to scan the arc. Automatic Zero Backlash (Slack) Adjustment sounds like a great feature.

This motor, will give me more extreme satellite TV DXing, to the easternmost end of the New Mexico's sky by going beyond 61.5*W!!!

Maybe with a dg380 I can still turn my dish when the temp goes below 10 deg. F

SatelliteGuys have always been helpfull to me. In fact without this site, I would've gave up on my satellite dish installation and hired a professional and spent $$$. However reading and learning from many posts helped me install and get my FTA system ready. It is great to know and rely on this site because this is the best and only true FTA site on the web. Usually other sites are full of hackers and illegal activities but I feel safe and great with SatelliteGuys. Also Sadoun is a great great online FTA store. Me and my friends always use their site for FTA equipment, new dishes and receivers. They have great support, great prices and fast fast shipping. LONG LIVE FTA!

A motorized dish is excellent for getting all the satellites on the arc. And if you like tinkering, it will give you a lot of opportunity for that as you always need to adjust. My sg2100 is good, but it is a little loose - ie coming from one side of the arc to a satellite will be a different position than coming from the other side of the arc to that same satellite.

I would like to motorize because my reciever's ports are full. A motor would allow me to revamp and actually see more birds, and if you're going to motorize, why not get the best?
