Well she's up and running and I'm well pleased with my thirteen quid bargain, the bracket it came with was worth that alone.

At the moment I have it fixed on 16e whilst i save up to motorise it.
Getting a great signal even with the cheapo lnb i have fitted for the moment.
Trying to decide between a polar mount and actuator or a jaeger 1224.
are there any significant advantages of one over the other?
took these pictures in the evening after i finished putting it up so they are a bit dark, will post some clearer brighter ones this weekend .

looking good, a 1224 would be good on that mount as it will be 3 inch diameter

it looks really solid that mount, after one myself as my t&k brackets are a mess

Very nice install!

That looks very nice. It appears to be similar in size and lnb mount like the 3' primestar I am about to put on sometype of movable base. What type of lnb does this type of dish use? MIne had an old 2 coax type which am sure is obsolete or bad.
Thanks

The biggest laugh is that I've seen quite a few of what look like channel master dishes all down the side of the motorway in France

what people had dumped them, why didn't you stop and salvage one ?
