[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1079509, member: 178786"] [USER=414352]@Man on the steps[/USER] , There are quite a few DSTV frequencies in Ku-Band on 36.0 East just in case that is adding to the confusion re the app being out? If you decide to go with the multiple fixed dish option then it might be sensible to make a list of the main satellites you think you will wish to receive. When you go to view the dish next week you could ask the seller if he does have a polar mount that would be suitable for it. Even if you do not get the polar mount installed professionally, provided the dish is mounted on it and you have a digital inclinometer it should not be difficult to manually align the dish on other satellites. Even if the polar mount does not track an arc you can manually adjust the Azimuth and Elevation with fine tuning easier than using a fixed mount on a large dish. Also, there are several forum members who have experience with setting up polar mounts, with some help here from the forum there is no reason why you could not setup a polar mount yourself once the dish is up on the mount.
