Nice sunny day, off work, dish hits the gutter at 36E.
So getting the drill out to lower the sucker and see how far I can get.

I know I'm going to end up with 36" T&K's instead of these poxy 24's but worth a go.

It's either that or the village pub again.

Wish me luck.

Took about an hour to dismantle (bearing in mind the steel gibb was above head height) and re-drill the T&K's, put back and realign. Longest bit was scanning in the 5 new birds into ProgDVB.

Result though as even with the old 1mtr Lenson I couldn't get past 45E.

very good

how come you had it so far up in the first place ?

your house must be in perfect position as i only get around to 42e on 18inch t&k with 90cm dish and you have what a 1.2m dish

15W is about 90 degs to the wall here and the brackets are from the old analogue days so about time they got shifted. They are 24's which give a lot more room then 18's (lot more than I thought they would once dropped.

Got 39 and 42 back and a couple of the Russian birds further round.
Worth an hour in the sun and get to spend the £30 for the 36"s down the village pub in the end.

Great stuff!

Think of the cash you saved too!

Not from getting an installer out

but from the beer you would have bought

Result Lancelot

Can't believe you hadn't done it before now

$ly · 13-09-07, 08:59 PM

It was that or the beer gardens of the two local pubs when the sun shines on a day off.

I'm sure you know how it is
