Re: 90cm dish and motor?

129 and everything in between. if there are any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it... right now Invacom QPH-031 seems to be what I'm leaning towards. And if I get this LNB, that does both circular and linear bands, would I still have to use a switch? sorry, I know this is a long read, but, I would really like to get this right the first time. (not a big fan of roof-tops in the Florida heat)
and yes, I'm in the Orlando/Daytona beach area, if that makes a difference
I would go with a 1 Meter dish if possible, but a 90cm should do fine.

Yes, get the Invacom Quad if you want to get both Linear and Circular LNB's and a Chieta Heavy Duty 4x1 switch.

I have this LNB and it works very well.
The Chieta HD switch is as bullet proof and as dependable as they get and they are inexpensive.

I would also recommend the Powertech DG-280 Motor

Steel internal gears, separate buttons for manual East/West dish navigation, 160 degree positioning, no problems with a stuck dish, no problems with the dish moving to the wrong sat, etc...which is a huge plus if your dish is on the roof.

I haven't had to touch this motor once in the year that I've had it. Can't say the same for other motors that I've had.

Get the Invacom Quad, the Chieta HD 4x1 and the DG-280 motor along with a 90cm or bigger dish and you'll have a great setup.
