Looking for New intallation comments

Hello to everyone.
I have been reading some of the posts and have finally decided which I will be ordering shorlty so I install during the holidays, on a system from Sadoun the :
M-1Motorized CLASSIC Blind Search Choice Set:</B> This system will allow you to move the dish to several satellites to watch more channels. A powerful solution if your favorite channels are available over several satellites. The receiver's remote control will actually control the whole system for you. The motor gets its power from the same coaxial cable going to the dish, so no extra wiring is needed.
System Includes:
~ Fortec Star Lifetime CLASSIC NA FTA Digital satellite receiver
~ Digipower SG-2100 DiSEqC Motor
~ Fortec 31" FS80P Dish
~ Universal mount that lets you put the satellite dish on your roof or exterior wall of your house.
~ Fortec universal 0.4dB Single KU LNBF.

I am looking for any good advise good or bad on this system.
I live in Melbourne Florida becouse of trees around my house I plan to cement a pole and secure it to the sofit at south face of my house , this should put me higher than my roof not too much higher but enougth to clear the trees and next door house. I understand the issuses with wind but other than that I like to know if this will work as far as finding the sats I like to go as far east and west as I can.
Should I spend a little more and get the 36" dish?
I would greatly appreciate any comments, sugestions and like to thank everyone in advance.
Besides all the wild feeds I would like to receive all the networks and Spanish language stations I can.
Thanks again

To the question concerning the dish. The extra size of the dish is worth every penny of the additional cost. Definitely get the 36" dish. There are approximately 53 Spanish language channels that you should be able to receive from Florida with the M1 system. I know one of the Univision channels on G10R just got switched to an English RTN channel but you should still be in the 50-60 range. In Florida you should also be able to receive the channels listed as Latin American beam. If you want more you will have to go to a big dish (8.5' or better) and C band. I do not have a current count of all the Spanish language channels out there available FTA in the US but I know I have 2 fav lists devoted to Spanish language channels and one holds 200 before saying it is full.

Other than that you should be fine with the M1 system. As to your mount. What is most important is making sure the mast is plumb and secure. If you preference for mount matches these 2 items you should be just fine.
