if you can squeeze to an 85cm one go for a Gibertini.as to LNBs the technomate gold range are as good as any though inverto blk ultras seem to get the best reviews at the moment.I have only ever used Technomate motors and never had any probs with them but every one will have their favorite.if money is not a problem go for a STAB.

Inverto Black ultra lnb is excellent.
Dark motor/tm motor
TD88 which is 88cm dish is good if you can get away with it.

Some great info here lads,looks like i am spoilt for choice, like the sound of the 85cm Fracarro Penta as it will just fit.

Fracarro Penta, Inverto Black Ultra LNB and Superior Dark Motor or TM2600.

Dont forget decent bracketry too. I would personally avoid 'L brackets' even if they claim they're heavy duty and suitable for motorised, use some decent T & Ks and length of scaffold pole.

I have used a galvanised L bracket for 5 years, never an issue.
Quality can be the issue.

Manic 5 years is a long time in this game and materials or should i say lack of them lead to poorly produced brackets these days, I have seen some of the so called sturdier ones bend slightly with 1m and above dishes installed on them.

I bet 5 years ago when you got yours it was probably made to last these days we live in a throw away society.

I have installed a few of them they are identical to the superior with just a little LCD screen on top, i will put it this way i use my meter to align and not the LCD screen and it only works when the dish is moving and stays on a couple of seconds when it hits a satellite. Its not perfect but it will give you some idea of the sat your on.

ive installed quite a few 1m iss motorised dishes using L brackets and never had any problems although they can be difficult to get plumb. i have also seen varying quality brackets with some really poor ones.. i always use t+k brackets now and better components but when i first started installing as a hobby about 5 years ago i used them as i purchased full kits as price was king and thats what you were given. regards mdt

i have always fitted L brackets and i buy them in boxes of 5
and there has been times where i have found dodgey welding
on them but had no problems getting them replaced by the supplier, i always check the welding and buy the L brackets
that have 8 bolt holes in as 4 is not enough.

Has anyone used these motors:NEW HORIZONS NH-210 DISEqC 1.2 MOTOR.
NEW HORIZONS NH-210 DISEqC 1.2 MOTOR FOR SATELLITE TV | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-HORIZONS-NH-210-DISEqC-1-2-MOTOR-SATELLITE-TV-/280745422012?pt=UK_ConEle_SatCableFreeview_RL&hash=item415dbb2cbc#ht_680wt_952)

Read a lot of good reviews, but you cannot beat an installers experience!

Put it this way put an extra ?10 in the pot and get a Superior Darkmotor which is not another Motek Clone nuff said.

Hi, I'm not a professional installer, but I bought and installed that CDTronix motor last summer and so far so good.

yes, they are crap....keep losing positions every 24 hours.

Alsat Dark Motor...never had a sniff of a problem with these.

I am taking this New Horizion motor back tomorrow to swap for Dark Motor.

digicon any links to the german supplied gibertini's ,was out realigning my dish at the weekend and noticed the pole slightly out of plumb over tightening the brackets on the pole has bent it very slightly of plumb i think you are better of with a scaffolding pole the quality is not there

thanks cat010

you can try HM-Sat i use these most of the time an 85cm delivered from there is around ?68 although some on ebay can be had ?75 so not much of a saving really
