Watch those larger dishes.

Just a quick word of warning about the larger dishes on standard motors.

My dish is usually pointed at G10R which is close to my western limit.
I went to my receiver to see what was on UonTV and I didn't get any signal from T5, I looked out toward the dish to see where it was pointing and it hadn't moved from G10R.
I went out to the dish and tried to move it manually with the East/West switch on the SG2100, the orange "Overload" light came on and it wouldn't move.

We had some heavy rain overnight and the dish was soaked.
Bear in mind that the larger dishes will hold a lot more water due to the larger surface area and adds more weight.
Long story short, I wiped the water from the back and front of the dish and the SG2100 moved the dish with no problem.

Looks like this is another use for Kings RainShield if your motor is pushing close to the weight limit of your dish.

After all that, I went back to G10R - UonTV is tedious.

Wonder if Rain Dance would work as well. Then that begs the question, which is cheaper?

You mean the Rain Dance wax?
