Well , az you should already knOw , a Dish Pro Plus dish duzz nOt require a dish mover , it's dezigned to be locked down after it's tracked in ( statiunarily mounted ) , so once this iz done , moving it would ( will ) only serve to loooze tha satellite signalz or make them weaker! The idea iz to track in all tha sats it's dezigned to receive and then lock it down and be done with it! a dish mover on the uther hand iz dezigned to be uzed with a larger dish to track the entire geostatiunary satelllite arc or at least mOst of it to receive a number of various diff 'rent sats that are spread out all across the entire arc ... so trying to uze one with a dish that wuzzn't dezigned for one izzn't "overkill" , az it's nOt going to help you to receive a better signal frum any of tha sats it wuz dezigned to receive ... and it's nOt just simply tOtally unnecessary ... it's simply defeating tha purpose of tha very dezign of tha DPP dish!

( NOTE: DPP dishez also have "SKEW" or "TILT" adjustments in tha back , just like tha standard Dish Pro dishez before them did , to compensate for tha skew or tilt of tha satellite arc az compared to tha geographic locatiun of where tha dish iz installed and this adjustment iz also to be locked down once it's made. )

Nice try attempting to be a smart alleck, but an Accutrac22Pro is a dual satellite meter designed to help you peak multiple satellites at one time by showing you the signal strength that both lnbs are receiving while you make minor adjustments to the dish in order to find the best combination to peak both locations to their maximum.
