Hi Lancelot, they sure do:- 144x127.

Good size that, where are you and are you thinking of putting a feedhorn and C120 LNB on it ??

You could always ring and ask them, I'm sure they'll have an idea

What satellite you at Loathecliff.

Nice setup mind you.

from the back of it looks as a jaeger 1224 motor will bolt to it if you want to motorise it

Hi. As mentioned in the "Introduce yourself" section, I have attached some pictures of my current set up. These show my motorised 80cm dish which is fixed to the shed wall at the bottom of my garden. Just like chavslav (posted earlier), my reception is limited to satellites between 5.0E and 28.2E and I can't get 16.0E at all. However, I should be replacing this dish with a 1m Gibertini later this week and I'm hoping that this will improve things for me...

Hi Remlap. SW Algarve, so it's naturally on 2D Being a tight sob, I've spent months with a free 95cm dish that isn't supposed to work here on 2D; but I got it to. Don't you just love a pointless achievement!


I ought to come clean & show the other two dish 'installations'. Here's the original 39 cm dish, but not in it's original location. I'll post the 95cm later (no pic taken yet), it's worth a laugh!

Note the patent elevation fine adjustment device. (Far more fun for me than being lost with computer codes)

The dish used to be on a garden table in it's suitcase with chalk marks to swop from Hotbird to Astra1 ...... Ahhh do I miss those early (for me) days

C120 & feedhorn? OK, I will email them. Expats wanting more than 2D may be a shock for them though!



Motorise? Hmm. I did have a go at that last summer. Either I'm thick, or the Comag receiver got very confused. I got fed up (to put it politely) with it telling me it was going somewhere & the dish wasn't even moving >
Can't I have lots of dishes instead? I like things simple if possible please.....I have much to learn

Blimey !

Loos like the house in the 'Home' piccy you get on XP desktop.

gouster, if your going to mount a 1metre dish in the position of the current dish then you will need to change wall mount as it doesn't look like you have much stand off from the wall for the dish to turn through the arc you can get.

also watch your head when you sit on the bench lol

Hi wod. Yes, along with the new dish I've also bought a new wall mount which extends 70cm compared to the existing 45cm one. The missus doesn't know yet but will get a nice surprise when she sees it!

I have suggested that we move the bench but she's happy where it is. Mind you, with the current weather we're having, we won't be sitting on it for some time to come anyway.

Nice dish loathecliff, did you know there is a Gregorian kit and polar mount available for that dish from ciberland.com

Might improve the signal.

Here is a pic of the Gregorian. Wonder if it performs as well as the Fibo Gregorian.
