Iceberg, this is slightly off-topic, but related to my possible decision to purchase the 8000HD. I have a few questions:
Woudl I be capable of picking up satellites you mentioned (like AMC3) using an old round 18" DirecTV dish nd existing DirecTV LNB? You also mention that you're using a motor for your dish, do you think a motor would be compatible with the DirecTV dish I mentioned?
And a quick question about the motor: How easy is it to point using the motor and your receiver, compared to pointing the old fashioned way? Is it as simple as initially setting the adjustments on the dish, and then never having to actually touch the dish again?
Sorry for going off-topic, but I really appreciate yuor help. Thanks!
