    i use this type of actuator to move my dish 1.2 CM
    i have a dreambox dm800
    but 1 important thing you should know is this type of arm is 36 volts so you will need something like a V-Box 2
    which converts the disq signal from the dreambox to 36V
    or you could do what i do and use a dedicated dish positioner. i use a pace msp200
    these type of actuators are mostly used for large dishes
    and the setting up is not too difficult

      i might just stick with a motor so
      by the time i buy those things ya mention it will probably work out around the same price
      and my dish wont be that big 1m at the most
