Well heres the picture of my new and improved setup. Hopefully it wont get ripped off the wall by the wind like the last setup

I'm thinking that i may be needing to upgrade one of the 80cm dishes for something a bit bigger in the summer.

Currently setup for 13e, 16e, 19.2e and 28.2e. I'm looking to add some lnbs for 10e and maybe 23.5e on the 90cm dish at a later date.

Incidentally the minidish is pointing at 19.2e not 28.2e. 28.2e ended up on the dark grey 80cm dish because it was getting cold and it was the first bird that i came across with it

Nice

What are the two on the left bolted to?

Is that a cat-flap on the shed door, or is it a Squariel?

BGonaSTICK · 24-12-06, 06:27 PM

LOL, it's not a shed, it's a 'viewing station' thank you very much...

They're actually bolted to the garden retaining wall on a 2" thick 1.5m length of Galv Tube.

I've added the piccie to clarify.

Oh good stuff - that second pic shows the post nicely

BGonaSTICK · 26-12-06, 09:24 PM

Yes, very good. I don't think that's going anywhere in a hurry

Thats the plan

Going to see if i can add 10e to the 90cm dish today with 2nd lnb

Finally added the other lnbs to the setup

I can now get Astra 1 @ 19.2e & Astra 2 @ 28.2e on the Dk grey 80R dish and Eutelsat W2 16e and Eutelsat W1 & Eurobird 10 @ 10e on the 90R dish.

I was intending to point the 80R dish at Astra 1 @ 19.2e and Hotbird @ 13e but unfortunately where the dish was situated i couldn't get a complete line of sight for Hotbird which caused a 30% drop in signal which was not really acceptable.

In the end instead of setting up the light grey 80R dish (see pics at start of thread) for Eutelsat W3A @ 7e i ended up setting it up on Hotbird @ 13e. Its now getting a really good signal of about 70-80% quality which i'm pleased about

I intend to finish setting up the minidish on Hispasat @ 30W when the wind dies down a bit or maybe shift it to Atlantic Bird 3 @ 5w if i cant get a lock on 30w
