Managed to get the Lemon LNB in person so saved £5 postage,

After dish was aligned and all tightened up I marked the position in permanant marker just in case and then sprayed bolts and joints with waxoyl.

Should be well protected their, behind low wall halfway up house protected from Westley winds, time will tell.

you can still see thew old mounts for the old analogue dishes I had there years ago.

One was an 80cm with 2 LNBs one on Astra one on Hot bird the other was a 60cm on Astra. Didn't know about twin outlet LNB's until about 6 months after fitting second dish

Now get htose old mounts back in use - you know you need another dish up

madrat · 30-05-07, 10:19 PM

well I do have that crap one I got off ebay, he refunded me in the end and told me to keep the dish

but to be honest after looking whats out there nothing realy interests me

unless anything is carrying CMT?

Analoguesat · 30-05-07, 10:45 PM

CMT is not available anywhere in Europe

madrat · 30-05-07, 10:55 PM

You need a friendly soul in America who will give you access to their av equipment, but it will work - Im testing one at the moment with the forum staff.
