Any help plz

[P&D]

Hi all

Looking to get a motorized dish setup
The help i need is what setup is the best buy as a package

Dish
Motor
Wall bracket

There are so many out there
i only have a F3 box at the moment
If it matters i'm in the northwest near Liverpool

Many thx in advance

80cm to 1m Dish & LNB (some might say get this or that make, but pretty much all the same)

Dark Motor is a good choice, its pretty quick and its metal gears are tough as old boots

T&K wall brackets & short length of scaffold pole... Any other type of wall mount will be shite for motorised...

If you're going to use an installer, rather than buy bits yourself on ebay let your installer supply the parts, then you're covered for the whole job, parts & labour.

Hi nibblitz

many thx for the reply

I have been looking at this item....

1m DISH PACK SUPERIOR DARK MOTOR 500 MOUNT CABLE LNB | eBay

Could you give me your opinion

About the only decent item in that pack is the smart titanium LNB, Faval dishes are pretty flimsy and crap and the motro gives you the impression its a dark motor its not its a superjack DG320 which is actually a re-branded dark motor which in turn is a re-badged Clake TecH 380 motor.

Hi digicon many thx for the advice

there seems to be so many motorized packages its hard to know what to buy.....

what about this package ??

Triax 88cm Motorised Dish Pack With Alsat Dark Superior Motor. 0.1dB LNB | eBay

If this is the same S**t if so could you point me in the right direction to a good supplier

Many thx phil

Thats a very good dish, its a good motor & LNB, not a particularly ideal wall bracket, and who knows what the cable is...

Like I said, you should go for T&K brackets and good strong pole (like scaffold) for mounting it up...

Try Red Apple Digital website to get your bits, they're good honest folk...

Yes, thems be the brackets you should use, and you want a real good strong pole for it too... You'd be wasting money if you bought that ebay package they're selling because you'd be paying for a bracket you dont really want to use... Give 'em a call, they'll sort you out with the right stuff..

But before you order anything, have you made sure you have a good position to put the dish? Like is it going on a south facing wall and will it have good line of sight for most of the arc...

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

find a scaffold firm, buy a pole from them, very strong! The further the t+k the easier it is to get the pole 100% vertical, well thats how ive always found it? its also better in strong winds, just some extra advice

ps, DASTV to very good prices on t+k's

bloody hell i thought t and k brackets went out with cb with the old siggy 4 on top soz it was a 3ele beam on 27mhz. but always go for a metal geared motor the plastic crap just shear off. go for 120cm dish if you can fit it in then bad weather will not be so much of an issue then for your distant sats. also dont stick to everyday run of the mill stuff, you will be very supprised what you can find thats not listed and pre encrypted and pre edited.
