Default new sat dish on new van

Just thought I would post a picture of my new (ish) satellite dish setup on the new caravan. Its a zone 1 mini dish with Cambridge LNB sprayed in white car primer. perfect reception at about 75-85% quality. their is a long bolt in the lower clamp that goes through the Pole to stop it twisting, set up takes about 15 - 20 minuets from unpacking the dish to getting a signal, the dish has also been modified so the arm and LNB are just a tight push fit, this mean they all fit together in separate leatherette pouches under a seat with no risk of getting bent in transit

Trust you!


There was me thinking how good it looked, but now all I see is a black cable when it should be white.

I have never seen white boots though, presumably you can get them?

I know what you mean about the cable, but the old dish was black, the only white cable I have is RG6 and I don't have any f plugs for RG6 so it stayed black. I have never seen white boots.

The white painted minidish shows class.

Those expensive gadgets are just for posers, who don't have a clue.
