Well done Nano, a very tidy job. You are definitely not allowed to buy any more dishes or LNBs though. Enough is enough! :roflmao:

Ah but I see the flaw in that comment - Stick hasnt said anything about geting them for free

I don't know what i'm planning to do yet

Definately need to buy another lnb for 7e if i decide to keep the setup i've got as the 2 MTI bluelines that i have won't work properly with my DISEqC switch for some reason. They won't allow the switch to release onto another lnb. I was hoping it was just the one that may have been faulty but unfortunately the replacement did exactly the same thing

I've been looking at a Wavefrontier T55 Torodial dish with interest but i'm not sure if i will be able to get 16e on it. May have to go up to a T90 if the T55 isn't big enough.

the other alternative is to motorise the 90cm dish :|

I'm going to have to do something as its only a matter of time before one of my neighbours complains or grasses me up to the council >

If they complain just go and talk to the planning dept and get planning permission from them. Ive not got any permissions for my dishes. If Im told to take them down I shall play merry hell as 4 of them are on temporary mounts. If the worst came to the worst Id invest in the biggest Wavefrontier going and put that up instead at the bottom of the garden

:clap: MOTORISE! :clap:

BGonaSTICK · 21-01-07, 02:01 AM

Ouch - that hurts the eyes! :roflmao:

nanochickin · 21-01-07, 11:58 AM

So you want me to motorise it then Stick

BGonaSTICK · 21-01-07, 12:29 PM

Yeah!

nanochickin · 27-03-07, 11:52 PM

As requested

I've finally moved the 90cm dish onto a motor and retired the other 2 80cm dishes. (pictured shoved down the side of the shed)

Getting 28E to 30W atm but i haven't checked if i can get any further.

Don't ask me how but i got the arc set more or less perfectly on the first shot using my trusty old Fortecstar

Just laying back and watching Lost on TV Cabo

Will post some better pics tomorrow as they don't really show a lot atm apart from a mess of wiring as i was still setting up when the pic was taken

ops:

Hey, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

:clap:

Now you have a setup you can finally stick with for a while, 'cos you won't improve on that significantly for allround flexibility at a reasonable price

Motorised is a whole heap of fun, as you'll come to appreciate over the coming years
