Hello everyone,
I am new to FTA. I have been doing reading for weeks not only on this site but others also. I cannot find much information on whether the Stab H-H100 motorized mount is worth the time and money. It is DiSEqC 1.3 dependent so the receiver must be compatible in order to use the automatic repositioning feature. I have a new Pansat 2500A which its owner's manual says is USALS DiSEqC 1.3 compatibile.
I have a 40" X 30" Primestar dish retrieved from the local dump. I also have a bunch of single and dual DTV LNB's removed from 18" DTV dishes found there also. I plan to mount the dish on a corner of my house which faces SSW (The adjoining wall faces ESE) Both have an unobstructed view almost to the horizon. I can also use the opposite corner which faces SSW and WNW, same unobstructed views.
I read a lot, and can figure out what satellites I can "see", but have no idea about their transmitting signal strengh therefore don't know if all are realistically useable.
So now to the questions.
1. Is the Stab H-H100 worth buying?
2. Is anyone successfully using this motor with a Pansat 2500A?
3. What would be the ideal LNB setup to use on the Primestar dish?
4. Which corner of the house should I mount the dish on?
5.I live at 38.19N, 75.9W. What satellites can realistically be received With this
dish/motor/LNB setup?
I know this is a lot to ask, but I also know there is no substitute for experience and I have none. I DO know that time spent setting something up right the first time can save many dollars and endless hours of frustration.
Thanks for reading, please help if you can.
