    Best option for motorised dish

    Which openbox would be best for a motorised dish I know the x3 has a large channel capacity 10k I think but what about the rest any info would be great

    Im not sure the X3 can store 10k TV channels, more like 5 or 6 ... In my opinion the design of the X3 is stupid, because the USB port is on the front you have to flap down the whole front panel to use it, makes it look stupid and untidy..

    Go for a Skybox F3 or its dinky little sister the M3 ...

    If you want a box with loads more channel space then you're into the realms of boxes that are twice the price..

        I've used s9 on a motorised dish for over 12mth now, can't fault it.. only problem i did have was my dish was only 80cm but i've fixed that now . 30w to 28.2e no problaymo!

        Alot of s11's have had problems running a motorised dish, especially the tm motors, so i'd avoid the s11
        If it isn't broke, don't try fixin it..!!!

          They're good for all the sats around the planet, but what sats you'll actually get will depend on your location, the dish size and its location.. If you're more darn sarf than up north then with a good quality 80cm dish you should have lots of fun, but bigger is always better.. If you aint put one up yet then I'd seriously recommend you pay the extra and have an experienced installer put it up for you, as its a little bit more involved compared to just putting up a static sky dish..
