and all the cables

The CAMs can't be programmed to do anything interesting these days - in fact the whole lot is all a bit old hat.

If it's in good nick I'd say it's worth maybe £100 - £120.

It has a 36V positioner built in, so no VBOX required, but it's just as tricky to set up as a DiSEqC motorised system.

looks a good deal but the 36volt motor ain't hard to setup as theres no polar mount, just motor and dish elevation to set as its a h2h motor like the diseqc 1.2 ones

the motor will be quicker than a diseqc 1.2 motor and it less likely to be blown out of alignment with the wind
