Default Broadband dish steerable?


"Windmill" wrote in message ...
Are steering mechanisms sufficiently stable, and sufficiently precise,
to allow use of the same dish with both TV and broadband?
(Obviously two LNBs slightly offset from each other might be required,
depending on frequency etc.)

Allegedly, great precision is needed for broadband (though I don't see
why; presumably any reasonably-sized dish would have a fairly large
beam width).

Do steering mechanisms use stepping motors, so that there is a minimum
possible angular change, or are some/all capable of any desired degree
of movement?

Can you give more information?
Which satellite broadband system, provided on which satellite?
is it downlink only or up/down?

Which TV satellite? A different one presumably

What if you want to watch TV and use broadband simultaneously?

Why does it need to be done with a common dish?
