OK, now I get to ask a question

Anyone ever seen one of these?

Haven't the foggiest :?

What's that all about then?

Hi BGonaSTICK,
it looks similar to something I've seen before, instead of a motor moving the dish the motor moves the LNB along the arm, allowing you to receive a few satellites, but on that picture it looks like the LNB is firmly attached to the dish arm, so I could be wrong

Best wishes

Yes, I came to the same conclusion as you.

With the motor positioned where it is, the whole thing must surely contain a lead screw to move the LNB sideways.

Quite ingenious if a little ugly. Not particularly efficient from a signal strength point of view either.

Just can't see how it physically works?!?

thats how it looks to me after reading up on the question asked the seller says the lnb moves along the arm. Quite an ingenious idea but I would like to see it in action first
