Proceed this thread if its not in correct place



i am poiting this question for owners of some diseq motors 70 degress in east and west example 45 west till 70 east.

i can only put such motor @ chimney so how its with mechanic limits cos i was talkin with one german user but that was in 2002 Nokia Dbox1 times Humax times
he told me that using Staab he very often had to reconfigure everything from 0 and many times was blocked and then he was just coming to roof to moving to astra .


I cant go to chimney :) so i am asking which current motor will not "break" during crazy weather like snow freezing under -5 -10 more
strong rains [what bout waterproof] and what bout "overlimit" means if u cross possible limit on east and last what bout corrections 0.1-1.0 degrees east/west
i think i can put max size 95-110cm on chimney.

If it's going to be on a chimney, firstly you need to have a large and solid chimney and fix to the chimney with a double or triple lashing kit, not a wall bracket, secondly, limit the dish size to 90cm if you are using a DiSEqC motor. Most of today's motors are pretty reliable, but if you are mounting in an exposed location, be prepared to revisit the installation after severe weather.

i am using this its manual + remote via positioner and on chimney i have 1 meter pile mounted with 4 big nails
and its truth i can hear mine 95cm dish during heavy winds but after year dish became trash RUSTY and this rust is making worse mirror for signal thats why i want to exchange dish with this manual motor but still thinking bout diseq motor.
