I have never upgraded my dish from the oval dish so I have only been getting the HD channels in the 70's and 80's channel range.

    Dish Motor

    I have a ku band FTA system. It is currently stationary, but I would like to motorize it if possible. The problem is that I use a 1.2m Primestar Dish, and I would like to keep using it if possible. I am told the larger the better, right. Is there a way that I can motorize this dish? I found...
