    Good idea East but I'll just keep the smaller dish parked accordingly.

    Lex is such a stickler for perfection that we will be adding a piece to the pole with clamps to ensure the distance between the 10' and 4' dishes.

    We will be adding the clamps and pole addition today. Lex is incredible, he reminds me of Magyver.

    The job is complete. All sats from 15-125w scan in with excellent signal quality. The addition of the side pole now allows for spacing amongst the 3 dishes. Here are some pics of the addition and the dish is pointing at Hispasat at 30w:

    I decided to test the western arc this morning, especially the ever elusive Eutelsat 117(SatMex) where i have never been able to scan in more then a couple of channels. With the exception of a 5 channel tp which scanned in on both polarities, 19 unencrypted channels scanned in. The Channel Master 1.2m dish is by far the best ku dish I have ever tested and kicks the Fortec butt.

    nice looking setup, I also have 1.2M type Channel-Master dish that I would like to motorized. Can you tell me what motor are you using on that dish.

    I have tried to do what you have done, but have not been able to find the right motor for it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.
