Satellite Dish
Hi
My father in law found a dish in his basement yesterday and as he heard I was looking to upgrade from my Zone 1 dish he brought it round. The only problem is it is the dish only. It looks to be around 80 - 90cm black mesh dish. It doesn't have any make on it. Obvioulsy i am going to need to buy all the bits for it but i can't seem to find anyone who sells the LNB arm. Does anyone know where i can by an arm from and will it be cost effective to go down this route or will i be better off just buying a new dish package? |

Re: Satellite Dish
Much as advocate reusing equipment wherever possible ( which I do all the time
 ) you are going to be far better off buying a new dish with all the bits in the box!If you are handy at DIY you could try making an lnb arm - somewhere on the forum is a pic of a homemade wooden arm!
