[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1118374, member: 389824"] Spotted this satellite & terrestrial setup at a community centre this evening... [ATTACH alt="cc1.jpg"]138522[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="cc2.jpg"]138523[/ATTACH] ...for context, the top UHF aerial (vertically polarised) is aimed at Clermont Carn in the Republic of Ireland, while the lower two UHF aerials (horizontally polarised) are aimed at Divis in N. Ireland. I'm not sure how exactly they were all set up, but it certainly seems that all three UHF aerials weren't installed in one go, even though both aerials aimed at Divis have suffered some element damage (weather or otherwise). The main problem I see is that the lower Divis aerial (manufactured by either Televes or a knock-off of their design) has its boom going across the face of the satellite dish. It's unlikely that it'll severely affect satellite reception, presuming the dish is aimed at 28E, but it's hardly good practice IMO. Edit: Bonus points for pointing out that the top two UHF aerials are far too close together for them not to interfere with each other, but this is not a rare practice in Northern Ireland. [/QUOTE]
