Ok, I think I'm getting the picture. If I get an 8-foot dish with a VboxII and some type of polar mount & actuator motor on dish I should be in business. But how do I connect two dishes to my one receiver??

I hope I'm in a good position for using only an 8-foot dish. I live in northern Michigan on a hill at 1200'. I have no trees so I have a clear view of the complete sky. I know for my Ham radio antennas my location is great.

My other question is regarding the big dish itself. I have seen mesh ones and Sadoun sells solid ones. Because we're on a hill and no wind break, we can, at times, sustain some pretty high winds. Will the wind issue dictate whether I should get a mesh or solid dish?
