I got an email response from Mike at Fast Track Satellite who it seems is a distributor for RF Mogul, the former MotoSat people. They have developed a new satellite system for sat TV. You can get a complete system, sat dish and controller ($2000), or just a controller for the older dishes. The new controller, the Eagle RE-1, is designed to provide automatic sat tracking for either Dish or Direct in HD. Currently listed at $700, it is on two week back order. Now while the price is attractive, about half of a new Traveler, there doesn't seem to be any user feedback yet on how well the new system works. I will keep it in mind but right now I have to see if this dish I have will even raise or lower. It's an older D2 controller and I hope I dont need a computer to activate it for some simple testing.
