Well to be accurate, few people use DVB-S with Rotors/Switches. There are a 
large number of DVB-S users in Western Europe and the UK where there isn't 
such a great need or desire for rotors or multiple dishes. Satellites covering 
the region are grouped into constellations so that a small static dish picks 
up everything that people want.
