Hi all,

After having a motorized dish with a 36" dish and Invacaom LNB for about a year I am considering to switch over to a multi-lnb setup. The motor is a nice feature, but 2 main reasons are steating me away from it:

1) Wind: Ever so often the wind knocks the dish out of allignment and I have to get back up there and re-align it. Since it is a mount connecte to a motor connected to a dish, there are many weak points where wind ends up moving it.
2) Alignment: Even with the motor, I frequently found that some birds will give me a great signal, but when I shift over to another sat, I need to adjust my dish vertically a little for metter signal. Thus never get optimal signal for all my birds.

Ok, so I am looking at setting up a multi-lnb dish (or 2).

Which dish do you sugest for a multi-lnb setut that will work well with circular or linear birds?
Does it have to be a parabolic dish or not?
Any sugestion on some brackets that will give me LOTS of lnb connectors?

Sincerely,
J.
