    1.1M - is it steel or aluminium? Steel is realistically too heavy for an DiSEqC motor.

    I have a 1.1 aluminium dish and it works fine on a Strong 2100, which is a Moteck 2100 rebadged; got it off Tony (satellite.ie)

    I have an old Manhattan HH100 motor (re-badged STAB) driving a 1m aluminium dish. It's slow but it's been reliable over the years. I guess the SG2100A must have moved things on.

    Had the MotekSG2100 for about a year before it blew.
    Got the Stab HH120 two years ago and I'm completly happy with it.
    It's easy to set up (USALS) and very sturdy. I use it with a 1.1mTriax alu dish in an wind exposed spot.
    Allthough I had to fork out double the money of a moteck it's imho very well worth it.
    Expensive, and funny money
    cheaper, real money, but foreign lingo
    ;)
