    I have a an 80 cm dish and technomate 1500 pointing at 16 e to receive digitalb. Its coming in at 70%.
    I was seriously thinking about getting a motor to have a look around, to see whats out there( i was previously fixed at 13 deg for Art)

    If i get a motor fitted ,will my dish move back to 16e to the position its at the moment for matches?
    Cheers in advance

    Yes, it'll cover the arc, giving whatever is available on 80cm dish, including 16E.

    Is there any satellites in particular you want to receive? Thor 1W for example, 80cm would be too small.

    No sat. in general. JUst like to have a look around. Im just curious to know will my sat. go back to the right position on 16e ,and will i still be getting around 70%

    what satellites can you receive on your 80cm dish?
    i heard 1w is no good
    so we have 13E, 19.2 and what else?
    i have a fixed dish on 13E and 19.2E with monobloc
    time to move the dish
    but dont know where to point it now?
    any guidance

    i meant 1w is not possible with 80cm
    so i was looking for other satellites with my dish
