Help a newbie in Winnipeg

Dear gurus,

I am in Winnipeg where temperature can be 50 degrees below zero
sometimes. Local intstaller tells me that satellite mover motor can
easily burn out in winter so he does not recommend it.

Any idea about cold-proof satellite motors?
and also:

I am going to install a small dish on motor to be able to browse FTA
channels. Any idea what is a good solution? Is there any chance for C
band with small dish?

Regarding receiver I wan a computrer card. Local guy sells me a
Visonplus 1020. Is it good?

Thanks.

My email is gaprinda@shaw.ca

Please email or post your answer

no c band on a small dish, 10ft or bigger would be the smallest size. i
put a battery warmer on my actuator in the winter, if it freezes up you can
turn it on and let it warm up for half an hour before moving the dish. if
it is -50 i would recommend turning on the warmer for 15mins or so before
trying to move the dish.

for the extrra 50 bucks buy a receiver, and if you must watch it on a
computer monitor buy a tv card.
as far as a motor I have one and no problem, but its not as cold as you.
I understand they will take the cold , try a battery warmer or a heating pad
or build a bird house over it affair.
