Just Sharing This Moved house - Scottish Borders dish farm v2 & v3

[Lazarus]

Looks like a splendid rural location

 

[Analoguesat]

It is - this was last nights sunset Looking south west-ish

Not the same without the tyres...

Plenty of time for that yet

Plenty of time for that yet

Get some old cross-plies - less flexible, and thus more "stable" than radials!

In time for chasing midnight, on New Years Eve, a coincidence?;)

80cm dish aligned out near 53E has added in

53E - Express AM6
52.5E - Al Yah 1
52E - Turkmensat / MonacoSat

and a weak signal off
50E - Turksat 4B

From the pics. it looks like those are those are all using a single LNB - Is that true because I've found that I can't differentiate clearly between 52E, 52.5E & 53E using the TD110 (just getting slight changes in relative signal levels when I nudge the dish one way or the other)?

You should do well towards the west too

Oh wow, that's a lovely location - aching for a 1.2m motorised Channel Master!

Yup all off one lnb - Belintersat is also there but the signal levels are very low atm - more tweaking needed. I can just get the Belarus tp

What is the internet speed like in the new home?

Openreach have been round and made some changes at the exchange - we were on a 0.5meg line.....

Now Im cooking with gas



May not be very impressive to many of you but thats double what Ive ever had at home before!

I am genuinely happy for you!

I'm curious why one of the London servers was chosen. Speedtest seem to think it's less than 50 miles away!

 

[Analoguesat]

It'll be where the IP address resolves to - I normally see London or Birmingham - its rare for my IP-location to be within a 100 miles of here!

The midweek storms wrecked the 13E dish mount & spun the 28E dish round its the pole so Ive spent what turned into a chilly but very pleasant sunny afternoon fixing things.

 

[Analoguesat]

A nice strong signal from 9E added into the system this afternoon. LNB offset from the 13E lnb.

I shall be seeing if I can see any of the stronger tp's from 10E this evening as well.

I was hoping to have a quick look to see what I could see out west but the intense cold beat me.

 

[Analoguesat]

Ive managed to get brief tp locks on 46E, 3E & 30W this afternoon. Its too cold to do much more than that though so no channels scanned on any of them

46E - lnb held offset from 53E dish
3E - handheld zone 1 dish
30W - handheld zone 1 dish
