Nice photos and results, and the dish looks like it is in good shape.

Now all you have to do is tell the wife and kids the garden is off bounds.

well, luckily have no wife or kids so no problem there

although that said i can stand right infront of the dish, and even inside and it has no noticable effect on the picture, only if i stick something directly infront of the lnb does it break up.

***wod*** · 27-08-2009

very nice have you got showtime in for the football ?

the neighbours must not mind the dish as it will be very large in size.

wouldn't a 1.8m have been enough for 7west ?

**Telia** · 27-08-2009

Will you get all Nilesat transponders with that dish in UK?

Malard · 28-08-2009

i've got every nilesat transponder and all are over 80% quality when overcast, today was bright and it was up near 95% on my technomate box

neighbours helped me build it

and yes i have showtime channels.

Its possible the dish is overkill, but its for commercial use (my garden is only a temporary site) so better be safe that sorry

**antenna1** · 28-08-2009

Nice install very good tidy job also you got the dish for a good price the normal trade price on the 2.4m is £1999 + vat ,

Just hope you get along with the people in your street a friend of mine had a 2.4m and the old bag next door reported him and planning made him take it down.

antenna1 is your friend in cardiff recieving showtime

**charly20** · 29-08-2009

Beautiful project

Excellent set-up

What else is there to say?

Just great!

I have one question though:

Can you receive 11374 H and 11411 H?

These are 2 new transponders for Showtime (with the Orbit merger).

They are not on Nilesat, but on Atlantic Bird 4.

Can you receive them?

How much signal?

Thanks!

***Turok*** · 29-08-2009

Hello Charly!
long time ,nothing here from you,where are you

?

11374 H,today i recogneized has been moved from ab 4 to the nilesat satellite,currencly listed on ab 4,but the signal since today is very strong on one of the showtime transponder on 11411 H still no signal,i received around 12 transponders of ab4 at the moment!

**antenna1** · 29-08-2009

I know some one is west wales who had showtime on a 2.4m dish but because of the old bag in the street he had to remove the dish.

Showtime arabia can be picked up on a 1.8m dish in cardiff and also a member on here crossbones had it on a 1.8m in swansea.

He would have to move the dish a bit as AB4 is not on 7'w he would need to nug the dish a bit to the west,

Hans, according to _http://www.nilesat.com.eg/sattechinfo.htm neither Nilesat 101 nor 102 can cover this frequency range, so there are 2 possibilities: Either because of the cool air invasion your 3m is now able to get these 2 of AB4A (please don't get it mixed up with the former and much easier AB4) or they have moved to AB2 at 8W.

And returning to the initial thread topic i'd like to thank for the photos. Very nice installation indeed.

**shane77** · 29-08-2009

Really nice setup/dish/install etc I'm very envious, any more pics etc please post.

One last thing, whens the party so we can come round and have a look lol

Malard · 29-08-2009

lol thanks for the warm comments, this is my first install, but luckily i had the bank roll to do it well. The trade price for this dish should be ammended, as i've said paradigm are retailing these dishes at 1350 ex vat with the kingpost at 365 ex vat.

I will take some more high res photos with my proper camera and set them up.

With regard to dish take down worry, given that the neighbours helped me lift the dish onto the mount, i dont think its a major worry
