Many thanks to my old friend Analoguesat for this mounting idea

My bike's not been handling very well with only one tyre, but I got to watch the game at least!

I promise to get it sorted out later this year :

Hee hee. Thats a tenner copyright you owe me

Seriously though, a tyre mount is absolutely ideal for experimenting with a dish - as its easy to alter the direction its pointing. Ive had a dish sitting on a tyre for 3 years. HOWEVER, you MUST make sure its secure if a gale comes along. You could be looking at a major compensation claim if someone gets hit in the face by a dish that comes adrift in a storm!

I lay my tyre diosh flat on its tyre if a severe storm is forecast, and drop another old tyre over the face of the dish. The extra weight keeps it safe.

Indeed. I had the exact position of the dish marked on the tyre with Tippex so I could stick it back up in a hurry when the Mrs had finished using the clothes prop!

Heres a temporary lash up whilst testing my new toy this afternoon

(one 15 year old 35cm BSB dish!

picked up from ebay for a fiver

)

The dish is pointing at 5W and the tv just about shows a scrambled Canal+ signal on analogue
