    It went to -9 in Dublin last night and I thought mine would have froze.

    Lucky for me it didnt :)

    I kept moving it every 30mins or so.

    My attic window did freeze shut though!

    I set mine to zap between DSF on 19E and BBC on 28E every hour throughout the night. Worked so far so I'm happy :).

    Don't have a motor anymore but never heard of that option. Just curious as to how you set that up?
