My System: Zone 1 @ 28.2 - HD PVR | 65cm Fortec w/Inverto LNB @ 1W - KWorld PCI DVB-S | Core 2 Quad Q6600, nVidia 8600GT, 600GB RAID 0, 22" LCD and 24" CRT TV, DVBDream
My Cheap Set Up - Zone 1 Minidish

Here's my cheap little setup, I got an old camera tripod and fitted a Zone 1 Minidish to it which I got for free! Pointed at 19.2E

The red tape is a waterproof gaffa tape that I had, although I'll be investing in some self-amalg soon.

On the other end I have my Analogue box set up.

Nice Hang a bucket of earth under the tripod and it will help stop it blowing over.

Yeah, I had to cut a few bits back the other day after a sparkly frenzy, it was the leaves blowing back on it in the wind!

I'm hoping to upgrade the dish soon, depends if the rest of the family will let me have a bigger one though.

Hmm I didn't think of that, I'll give it a go!
