    What is the budget because the BEST can result in a massive difference in price and then there's taste/ preferences...

    eg... the best 1m dishes are probably plastic/fg V-Sat dishes - see Prodelin etc..

    quietest diseqc motor is easier - probably the Dakmotor Superior or Supreme but Stab might be a close second noise wise or quieter & then there's performance measures..

    Budget around the 300- 500 mark.

    Thanks for replying:D

    Non Linux Receiver- TM5402HD + WD Passport 1tb HDD & Patriot USB flash drive

    Linux- DM800HDse decent built clone

    loads of other receivers though- plus twin & triple tuner etc..

    Motor?- For a 1m, Darkmotor Superior or Stab Motor HH100 or TM2600 (they're all pretty quiet now but some are quieter than others) lots of other good motors badged but are those 3 - you just need to know them as there's too many & so many to avoid

    Dish - Triax 1.1 is a 1m in the offset measure or Orbital steel or ali 1m (bit smaller) or Gibertini 1m (bit smaller still- or the one's I've measured are)

    LNB - Inverto Black Ultra or Invacom but there are several to also recommend & they can & do vary in a batch

    decent install/ survey/ brackets/ wall fixings /coax/ connectors ....

    get one thing wrong & it can all too easily be 'not so good' as a result...

    get it all right .... & it's fantastic.

    1m is a bit excessive for those satellites. You don't really need to go above 70cm, maybe 80 for a specific beam.

    13e & 28e definitely but you might get a few on 7e getting a bit thin at 70cm there. The ones to watch are lower power/ higher threshold ie- 8psk x higher fecs &/or where both pols are in use.

    Indy Car feed's on atm on 7e- high bit rate too .... you do get some good feeds on there if that's what it's for.

    The Gilbertini 100 Alu is a very good 'Quality' Dish. However if you can go directly to the 'wholesaler' you would avoid any risk of damage to the Reflector whilst being sent by a 'third' party to you.
    We will now only collect Dishes ourselves (above 90cm.) as damage is easily caused by poor handling.
