Yes the dish is warped - its not your eyes - it suffered rather badly in a stormy spell when it got knocked over several times. It was twisted more or less straight again, and put back into service.

This is the dish that came off the side of the road one bin day in May 2001

It has been in regular service ever since. Note lnb holder broken, and lnb held in palce with zip ties and a geberous amount of duck tape! :

What sort of Heath Robinson outfit have I joined?

LOL.... we've shown you ours, so you know what comes next... :clap:

Jimdefruit · 19-02-06, 07:53 PM

I thought that was coming!! I'll have to get the ladder and camera out.

BGonaSTICK · 19-02-06, 07:56 PM

What, you mean your dish isn't just thrown on the floor like it says in the manual?!?! :roflmao:

Thats no good - its obviously installed properly!

Naah! I think the mount came from Goonhilly. At least it wont blow away.

BGonaSTICK · 19-02-06, 11:21 PM

LOL, I was going to say that it looks like it fell off the Ark Royal!

As my dear old grandma used to say; 'you can't have too large a mount for your Channel Master 1.2m'.

Chaps... I am but a few miles from Goonhilly. They are a most slovenly bunch - not only are their dishes strewn all over the floor but point in all sorts of directions; It is most untidy.

Google Earth doesn't serve the SW of England too well. Goonhilly Downs could well be just some random bits of toilet paper so flakey are the images.
