I'd love to have a more reliable motor for my dish. My current motor is hit or miss. |

Why drive a Yugo when you can have a Ferrari! Motorized dish is the way to go. More sat's, more FTA!

I got into FTA while looking up information on my Dishnetwork stuff. I came across this site and it opened my world.

| | I've been doing satellite since 2005 starting with DTV and was told about FTA by a fellow technician. After doing some investigation and research of my own, I now have my own system which consists of a Neosat iPRO 2000, winegard 30" offset dish, Invacom Universal Quad linear LNBF, operated by a SG2100 HH Motor. There's no better way to have a FTA system, than to have one that's motorized with the options of more sats and channels. Have been enjoying FTA ever since. |

A motorized dish expands ones viewing enormously. It's the only way to go.

I am a newbie and I am still trying to figure out all the equipment I need to suceed at FTA'ing. I found out about FTA about two hours ago and I am sure having a motor to control your dish is better and easier than finding your satellites manually and not knowing where to point it at. I am sure one day I will be able to perfect FTA'ing without it but I am sure it will make it a lot easier. Wish me sucess at FTA'ing.

The reasons I like motorized dishes...You can get more satellites with less dishes, lnbs, and switches. Plus, if you run into a problem receiving your signal down the road, there are less components to trouble shoot.
