    yes if they are in the same rough location

    if they arent , the usals would need changing accordingly

    so if you were in one part of leeds and were trying it in another part of leeds the usals can remain the same, meaning no changes need to be made

    but if you were moving from leeds to lincoln or liverpool then some usals changes would have to be made to fit the new location

    the channel list is largely unaffected unless personal preference dictated you find and use the regional channels so if I use somebody elses list I have to find and use granada tv and bbc1 northwest and bbc2 north as they are my local transmitter channels

    Many thanks echelon

    The dishes are about 4 yards apart

    If I set the SB on Thor then disconnected it

    Then connect it to the motor on a tripod

    Providing the dish on the tripod was pointing at Thor

    Do you think this would work. ???

    Hi
    Yes, that will work but I am not too sure about a motor on a tripod tracking the arc very well (ie being stable and accurate enough) unless you are going to use it fixed to Thor only, if so it won't need a motor, is your other dish motorized? do you need 2 motorized setups?

    Yes the dish on the tripod is motorized[ Darkman Motor

    I am trying to set this up for use when we take our caravan away

    Will I have to set the motor up for each satellite inturn

    Or can I plug and play

    Hi
    To be honest you will struggle to setup 'on site' certainly if using a motor, but by all means have a go. Also remember the caravan site location will be different to your base location so the usals motor will need the new caravan sites long/lat when there. Members have used on site dishes but only on the Astra (strong signal Sats) which are easier to locate. I would first start without the motor on tripod and see how you get on with Astra or Hotbird.

    That's how I started just using 1LNB on 28e in the caravan with a DB 500s

    Then the next step was two LNBs 1on 28e and other on 13 e with a DB 500s

    Now I am trying to upgrade to motorized dish and a Spiderbox 9000 HD

    I am replacing the SB with a VU Duo [ If I can set it up that is ]

    Yes I understand about each campsite in setting the dish up

    I have spent a few hours doing that

    I have an Ipad with a compass in it I use that to set up dish just enter post code

    If you want the footy then you have too
