It looks like an arm? The good thing about that is that you don't have to wait for the motor to turn and it also means that you don't have to worry about the motor's lifespan either.

Yep, they do a smaller version of it too, the T55. I fitting one this week.

For stronger satellites should be fine but for fringe sats a motorised would be better.

thier called torodial dishes iirc .

not a cheap dish plus the cost of each lnb and the swithing gear .

no waiting when zapping and no noise , commonly used in commercial setups as with quattro lnbs a multitude of people can watch a mutitude of sats and channels at the same time . e.g. international hotels where multilingual guests are common .

looks like a nightmare to setup but some might consider this the fun part .

Hi Martin,still around as said,hows it going mate.Guys if i'm honest,feedhunting i lost interest in it,it's not the same fun as old days.Today,i'm more one of them guys who just likes to watch tv,IE sports or movies with wife.
