You say in your profile that you have five Spuan 420 and one Spaun 410, I would have thought it would be the other way round. How's it all connected? Robbo | ||

Yes finally i solved the problem with the crappy plastic LNBholder.With my construction i can still use the original holder ,combined with the new rail. I also could get a longer LNBguide in an easy way when i used a tube. Now all LNB can be adjusted more exactly.They can all be adjusted in height,angle ,etc.And theres no problem anylonger with 5e-7e-9/10e,just two degrees makes no problem now. Some more pictures from the days im finding out "how to" | |||

Excellent, I understand. So that's a maximum of 64 then. Three is the maximum cascade level isn't it? | |||

That is a very elegant solution. Extremely well engineered. It is rugged weather proof and infinitely adjustable. Very well done.

My System: I bet on red. If I lose, I double the bet on red again. I continue with this until I lost everything.  Muhuhuhahahahahaaaaarrrgggh | Very nice work. How does the dish compare to a motorised dish, is there a loss of signal strength?

My System: WaveFrontier T-90 16LNB Cathing 18 birds 22w-33e Dreambox7020 HDD 5 Spaun 420 1 SPAUN 410 In the satworld since 1991 | Excellent, I understand. So that's a maximum of 64 then. Three is the maximum cascade level isn't it? Im not shure of the maximum LNB as you can cascade the SUR 420 in Mode 1-2-3 and then an commited switch How does the dish compare to a motorised dish, is there a loss of signal strength? Im pretty shure that a 1m motorised dish is quite better,But i dont have the time to get coffe while the Spaun change satellite compared to the motorised dish.And i dont have problem with loss of signal just the weak satellite, 18w 22w and some transponders at 4w. How much did this all cost you? assuming you installed it yourself? Im not shure of the total cost.I have not done all at one time,had it for 3 years and the last upgrade this winter.I can only guess,650 EUR/506 GBP And yes its all done by myself. I offen get the questian why so many LNB and can you see something interesting at al these position?? And my answer is, I have done it because i can | ||

Regarding the motor being slow: I suppose they are slower than what you got, but it does not really take that long. Unless you switch from 30 west to 42 east all the time, it only takes a few seconds to switch from 19E to 1 west... Still, your setup looks great and I bet it is fun to flick channels
