My System: Sky+ TM1000D 1m Orbital Motorised Dish Echostar 3000 |
I have a Greogrian 90cm dish. Mate is an installer and was asked to replace it on a job. It's heavy, very heavy and white. It's not a Fibo as it is steel. Customer said it is about 9 years old. It's in very good condition, a tad bit of paint flaking on the back but all the brackets etc are good. Is it genuine? I thought all Gregorians were aluminium? What LNB needs to be fitted to it? Will a Disecq drive it? Cheers | ||

My System: Sky+ TM1000D 1m Orbital Motorised Dish Echostar 3000 | Yes sure, i'll post some pic's when I can figure out how to get it in my car to bring it home haha. At the moment I have a an 8ft, 2inch diameter pole filled with cement which goes a fair way into the ground. On this I have my 1m orbital which is no where near as heavy. Driving my orbital is a Moteck SG2100. I have an Echostar AD3000 which is obviously 36 volt so the 36 volt route wouldnt be a problem. What type of LNB's do the Gregorians need? A normal one or C120? I'm pretty sure it's steel as it's suffering from a little bit of paint flake. | ||
