    Advice to find best ku motorized system

    So would you recommend the 1 meter or 1.1 meter with hh motor setup? Are the lnbs good or do you think I could put a geosatpro spl on one of these dishes? Never heard about these setups but that 1 meter or 1.1 depending of cost looks like it would be perfect for me.
