Thinking about putting a motor to a 4 footer

[neljtorres]

Guys I have a question I have two 4 footers one with hispasat and other with galaxy 95. I am thingkin about buying a motor for one of the dishes so i can check out a couple of more Ku sat and stop climbing on the roof and moving them manually. I have a 650cw what else do I need a vivox like the c band uses to move the dish? And what motor do you guys recommend!

I don't know how heavy your dish is, but I have a DG380 from Sadoun, that does a fine job with my Fortec 1.2M dish. You might try it. Sadoun Powertech HH Mount Motor DG380 DG-380 DiSEqC 1.2 Compatible .

If your dish is within weight specs of the DG380, the DG380 makes a great motor in most circumstances. Just make sure your latitude isn't too close to the equator or that the satellites of interest to you are above 25 deg lookangle as the DG380 motor is too weak to move a dish at low latitudes or return to due south from sats that are low to the horizon.
