I have decided that my ku side feed on my 8' dish is insufficient for the more sensitive tp on the arc so I will be installing my geosat 90cm(36") under my 10' bud for ku with my basement setup. The sg6100 motor which was underpowered for my 4' dish will be my dish motor for this install. I need to attach a special bracket and support for this install so as to seperate it from touching the pole and I will need to be moving my 2 big dishes to their extremes when using this setup so as not to block the site of this dish. I will be adding many pictures and my good friend Lexmark will be helping me out with this endeavour.

Minimal success. It only took 1/2 hr to mount the bracket and the dish and about an 1 1/2 hr to realise that the sg6100 motor is a pos. My south sat Amc 6 at 72w was not attainable as the neighbours house seems to be in the way. We did manage to scan in 87, 91,95 and 97w. When I have some extra time I will be working on scanning in more sats:

I've decided to save my sats using disecq 1.2 instead of usals as using this underpowered dish requires me to do so manually. I'm calling it a day and I have 91,93,95,97 and 99 all saved.

Good luck costa.. I like the bracket..that sure beats digging another pole.. I wonder if you mounted it further back and raised it on the fence post you might be able to get 72w.

Those DTV and Dish mounting poles come in handy. Hope you don't forget to not move your BUD over too far and squash your smaller dish. It almost happened to me once, but I caught it just in time, even though I had set the limit setting.
