Ive got 5 in daily use, 4 more blocking holes up under the hedge and at least 3 more in store - they might come in useful sometime!

In use:
60cm old analogue (our sky dish)
80cm ex analogue (3)
1m Orbital (1)

In store:
43cm zone 1 sky - 2
80cm old analogue - 2
85cm Fraccaro Penta (in store awaiting a warm weekend when it will replace our sky dish)
1.2m - 1
40cm BSB dish - 1

1 zone 1, the Fraccaro and the 1m Orbital were new the rest are scavenged / salvaged

Coz its bright white, in my office at work and too big to go in the back of the car!

It will get onto the roof bars at some point but I need some new bungee cords first - I snapped 2 when an old matress fell off the top of the roof bars a few weeks ago!

Also - the mount was destroyed in a gale a in 2001, so its only the dish face and the lnb arms/clamp Ive got. I dont have any old car tyres big enough to prop it up on.....
