My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E /19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue |
Its been mentioned before, but its worth mentioning again. This is Klaus Schumacher's 8m dish. He lives in Brazil and can get analogue channels off 19E. Amazingly he can also get some digital stuff as well. The dish is driven by an old Echostar.

My System: DM 600 PVR with HDD. Gemini 4.50, Moteck SG2100, Fracarro Penta 85 dish, + some puters | It would have been easier to move to Europe Seriously, thats some achievement, He's even picking up digital from 26E, I hope someone can help him get digital from 19.2 east before they analogue goes off for good. | ||

Blog Entries: 1 My System: Triple Dragon with HDD/USB stick, Humax HDCI2000, Echostar AD3000ip & SR8700, Fortecstar 5100CIUltra, Aston Simba, RSD ODM300. Swedish Microwave 1.2 Motorised dish / Invacom C120 twin LNB driven by the AD3000. 3 other fixed dishes. Diablo/Mrev Cams  Fighting the evil 3 Dragons under the Don Quixote banner,Sir Llew persevered where others failed | Takes a good positioner to move that beast. I used the Echostar 8700 for many years, it used to auto peak on a satellite. Probably comes in handy on that one too, although there must be plenty of overrun with that dish using that facility Llew

My System: Sky+ Pace v3, and before that analouge 80cm dish with Prima by Pace box pointed at 19.2e (not very imaginative then!) | I think everyone will agree that if he ever joined up here, he would be made an honorary member at once! | ||

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs Saved us from the black plague of ignoratio elenchi, he awaits a special badge with jugs |
It certainly is quite remarkable and I suppose the sense of achievement must be great especially with him achieving all this with a home made dish. It is a shame that the digital signals are proving a problem for him.

I love the fact he has a team of people all working on it just so he can watch a bit of telly I should imagine that he might be rather lucrative as an endorsement of equipment - "Test by Klaus - Brazil to Europe, no worries  !"
