I have a dual output LNBF that is set up to feed two recievers although I want to buy the 3 LNBF mount but am not sure if it can feed two recievers.

How does a motor work? Is it difficult to switch back and forth or can it be programmed to switch to a preestablished position?

The LNB's need to be a dual to run 2 receivers efficiently

If you get a motor, only one reciever can control it. The other receiver can see the same satellite as what satellite the main one is on.

Whatever I do, I normally hire someone to do the technical work.

If I buy a motor, I can have it set that with a push of the button on my remote, it will turn from one satellite to another? So it isn't like a rotor on a TV antena that are not preset for a specific direction?

A motor is automatic once you set it up. Each satellite you program where to stop the motor and when you change channels, if it si on a different satellite, the motor moves to the correct spot and stops.

Works pretty slick
(and it is hooked in series between the LNB and receiver so no extra wires needed)
