    I haven't wired it up yet but it's roughly pointing due south at the correct elevation......

    The black TD110 has been taken down now.

    SWMBO insisted.....and she's threatened D.I.V.O.R.C.E if anymore gadgets arrive.......but the Vu+ box hasn't arrived...I think I may need to cancel.....

    The black TD110 is likely going to be replaced by a 85cm transparent dish
    Code:
    http://www.satellitesuperstore.co.uk/clearmenu.htm#clear85
    mounted lower down on the pole and closer to the wall.....

    and the TD110 is now For Sale

    I have just put my dish up at the weekend and my 2600 motor is mounted the opposite way to twigmans. The thing is if I mount it the same way the connections would face upwards and allow rain to just run.

    Are some motors designed to be mounted differentely ?

    Cheers
