[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 25220, member: 175144"] I would look at the total amount you have and split it between getting the best out of the outdoo equipment and the receiver Most receivers now run DiSEqC 1.2 for moving the dish but rather than use this all the way to the motor, spend a little more and use a standard 36V actuator system and good polarmount. Keep to a Universal LNB but fit the largest dish you will get away with. Then with the money left look at a DiSEqC receiver with a converter (VBox or Aston) to the motor, OR a receiver with a standard 4 wire positioning. Internal CAMS (UCAS) are available but check carefully with the forums that the make does not suffer from manufacturing defects, patching failures, general trouble. A Magic CAM solves most of the troubles with embedded solutions And then theres the new generation of receivers with storage and playback devices built in (£500 is now at the lower end of the scale of these machines) [/QUOTE]
