Hi, mate,

I don't know too much about dishes myself, so I haven't replied so far.

All I would say is that it looks like a prime focus to me, and quite a small one at that. I think you would be better off going and getting a new Triax 88cm offset dish, I think they are only about £40.

The prime focus if mounted on a wall, sure would look awful, as it would need to be tilted up dy 25 to 30 degrees.

The dish might be the mutts nuts, for all I know, hopefully one of the dish conneseurs(sp) will come along later and let you know.

actually it looks like an offset to me and maybe a channel master too you need to ask for a pic of dish back. i have and i'll post it if its emailed

Stevo is correct, its a Channelmaster/Andrews off set.

It does look like a p/focus, by the angle it was taken.

Its a great dish, but because of the lnb mounting arms, it will be difficult to attach a mono block or two separate lnb`s .
Im sure I have seen a multi feed arm for channel master dish`s

thanks for the replys i really want to run two recievers of the one lnb hence the twin output any idea about the california amp do i assume it will take a standard 40mm lmb ??

stevo25 · 05-12-07, 11:00 PM

it should do as the standard feed assembly accepts a 40mm collar well it doe on my 1.2 and on all the .9m 1m 1.2 and 1.8m i sold in the past

yes channel master dish and you can easily change the lnb to a new one and a fit a jaeger 1224 motor on it for a very nice setup
