Too cold!!!

[Kymmy]

Damn this cold and icy weather....

Got a nice 1.2m dish with a very very very low noise block and a nice new DiseqC motor to put up to replace my other dish/positioner that I've had up since analogue days..

Messed around with it on the ground but need it up where the dogs aren't tempted to pee on it ;)

Don't dare use the ladder in this weather :(

Kymmy, are you aware that most motors that say they're DiSEqC and suitable for 1.2m dishes aren't? Go with a 1m dish if you must!

[Kymmy]

The motor's metal geared and suitable upto 1.4 ;)

Is it suitable in a 40mph gale in this country? ;)

In all seriousness, unless the dish you have is suitably light enough for the motor, it will wear the gearing over time and cause it to play a lot, eventually requiring a new motor.

It's fine, been using stuff like this for 20+ years :) Thanks for the concern though...
