NEW Pictures of members dish/receiver setups please!

[BGonaSTICK]

'Cmon folks, post-up some pictures of your satellite hardware. It's always nice to see a few pictures of what other people are doing

Don't be embarrassed if it doesn't look too professional, just take a look at some of our setups and you'll see we're not fussy!

Alright then.* I hung out of the window at great personal risk for this one.* Doesn't show very well without daylight on it, but the rust is pretty evident.
Ok here's one I did later in daylight so you can see it.

The pic with the 3 dishes shows a 43cm zone 1 Sky dish, which is used for experiments to see what I can get. (Normally lives in the coal shed! but may go onto 5W when Ive got a few minutes and get a warm weekend.)
The middle dish is a secondhand 80cm dish which spends most of its life on 19E, although being mobile has seen service on most of the other satellites too. The dish on the fence is another secondhand 80cm dish which is locked off onto 13E. (this is out of date as there are now 3x80cm and a 1m here - pics when it stops raining!)


The wall mounted dish is a second hand 60cm ex Sky analogue dish - originally from my parents house. It was rescued when they went digital) , It currently has a twin LNB on it, although I have plans to put a quad on it. One feed to the Digibox, the other to aTechnomate in the bedroom. Looking of course at 28E.

Our AV kit - Panasonic 28" widescreen tv. Top of the pile of boxes is the Grundig GDS3000 digibox. Then there is a Panasonic video recorder, the Echostar 3000IPVA, and a Panasonic DVD player / Home Theatre System.

The digibox and video sound outputs are wired up to the HTS, so I can listen to Planet Rock (Sky 861) and wind the volume up loud

Also in pic are 2 Digisenders - one on the Sky box, the other on the Echostar, so we can watch Sky in the kitchen, and the Echostar in bed.* And finally an Aiwa music centre.

Heres an up to date picture of the dishes in the back garden.

Left to right

1m on 16E. This one was new.
(on the tyre) 80 cm on 19E (donated from a lad I work with)
80cm on 13E (came out of the local woods and had been badly bent)
80cm on 5E (donated - had been jumped on by some kids....)

Very new to this game, more a radio listener. Anyway somebody moving house let me have their old sky set up with box
which you can see behind and higher up.* That went well and easy. I think I was a bit* lucky. No meter, but lots of neighbours along the rowe with Sky dishes.* Then I scrounged this big grey dish, more like volunterring as scrap collector as it had no boom. Dish size 105cm X97cm and 8.7 deep. So I made up something adjustable in wood, just to find focal length.* Can now make boom up in metal.* Want to mount 2nd LNB for Hotbird* 13E, main is now on Astra 1, and keep Sky dish for 28E. and DISEqc the 3 LNB's now to see if I can scrounge a switch, even though I see them for sale for Euro 14.
P.S. Yes thats a christmas tree stand, screwed to the footpath with wall-plugs. Sorry apart from Sky Box I bought a Topfield Fe4000 FTA on Ebay.ie for Euro50 incl.postage. That put me over budget for the rest of this year.
