My System: Ku: 2.4m Aerial PFA / Invacom SNF-031, C: 1.2m Aerial PFA / MTI 15k, DM7020-S, DM500S, C-Tech 2100, VBOXII | I have the BSB minidish as well but converted for a 40mm collar feedhorn. It pulls in both 19.2E and 13E here (Not to mention 5W and 1W). I am using a modern 10 euro Maximum SF-10 (0.3dB) LNB on it. Somehow these dishes found their way to Finland as well, I have personally witnessed the exsistence of 4 specimens in very different parts of the country, mine included. Got it from a friend who got it from a friend... can't say at which point the feedholder was modified. Interesting dish anyway, the ruggedness and overall quality is brilliant. In fact it is the only dish here wifey finds "not-so-ugly". | ||

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | I got me a BSB Minidish!!! It's not the squareishial Analoguesat has, it's the round type, but I can't wait to receive it, and see if it picks up anything, like Cuatro on Hispa or Canal+ on 8w (which annoyingly shares the same frequency and Polarisation as France5/Arte on 5w which made my search for 5w a task and a half!!!)...

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Of course, a picture would be handy... This is the one from the listing (if you haven't seen the listing yourself through the Big Dishes thread...)...

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | I've got the dish!!! And after comparing it's face to my Porty dish, there's very little difference in size, about 1 or 2cm smaller than the porty, AND it's a Channel Master dish!!! I've removed the original LNB and fitted a temporary LNB with zip ties and it works perfectly as it is... Anyways, piccies!!!

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Yep, made in the UK for a UK company... Anyways, I have an idea of how to fit a 40mm clamp to the arm, I just need to work out how to do it all by myself...

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | And here's my idea, all I need is a T-shape bracket, 2 long nuts and bolts for the clamp (it's a spare one from my multi-LNB bracket on my 80cm Lidl dish) and 2 short nuts & bolts to hold the bracket to the dish arm, then on goes my spare Lidl LNB and it's done...

The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | I think one of Analoguesat's BSB pics is the same as my dish (installed on a pole with the cable removed), and of course, at the bottom is my pic of a squarial in Nelson... (just looked, it's the second pic down on his site under "Focus on..." - BSB Squarials into the 21st century)

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Well, I decided to do a bit of recycling, I have the innards of an old UPS with a nice big flat aluminium heatsink, so I'm going to cut that off, trim it down and make it into my bracket... All I need is the nuts and bolts to hold it all together, which should be easy enough as I know a guy on the local outdoor market who has loads of nuts, bolts, screws and stuff...

The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | I hate waiting for deliveries, I bought a junior hacksaw and a mini-vicefor this and I just hate the wait...  It's tempting just to hack away with my penknife and make the bracket that way....
