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!

Looks like it could do with a clean and a lick of paint, but if it was free or very cheap, it's a bloomin' bargain!!!

Plus, I love your brick-mount at the back....

By the way, you need to waterproof your LNB connection or you'll end up with a wet receiver or short-circuiting the cable....

Was totally free! Gona use grey hammerite when i get a dry afternoon. i will maybe try the invacom quad on it to see if its better than the inverto lnb. Think the dish is about 15-20 years old tho....

I would say that your focal length could be out, as it might not be the correct feed.

You can buy that feed assembly from the satellite super store.

Get a meter on it and try moving the lnb in and out.

My System: Motorised 1.2M Fibo looking between 45E - 60W, TM9100 Receiver running EDG-Nemesis 3.2 in flash

at the brick mount. The dish has potential though and it would be nice to see it motorised once you get the feed sorted.

Good luck with it, I'm a bit jealous.
