Motorising a Zone 2

How many cm is the sky q dish they provide?
Also I have a bigger one underneath but I can't remember where I purchased it from so can't remember the size.
Can anyone guess?

Another question i got is if i like a 80cm motorised dish and get it installed. If i change channel to something which is 16.e for example then switch back to 28.2. Would it automatically move the dish with these receivers? if its automatic, whats the delay time approx?
Do i have to manually ever move the dish myself?

I think i have found the link of the triax i have.
Its this
TRIAX TD78 78cm Solid Dish Steel (Boxed)
Is it possible to maybe convert this dish into a motorised system and the i can transfer my UNICABLE LNB to my smaller sky dish?

Not wishing to sound like the Grinch @joysleep1 you have a lot of questions which aren’t specifically viark box related so you may be best to start a new thread to keep questions and answers to your issues in a manageable thread instead of one with over 8k posts

That dish is perfect to motorise.

Unicble LNB can be transfered to a Sky dish you may need an adapter depending on the version of sky dish you have.

Yes a motorized dish would move on channel change

Hi
Yes but i just found out if you want a motorised dish then you need at least 80cm and i want to catch 16.e and the person i use to install my dishes said even with 80cm i will struggle with 16.e so i need a 90cm or 97cm or even 1m dish.
So i am on the look out for one of these sizes so ensure i can receive the signals i want.

Any idea what the delay is approx ?

As long as it takes for the motor to move to the correct sat If your going from 19e to 16e it will be quick 5 seconds or so. If your going from 42e to 30w its going to be 60 seconds or so.
