....but it's effective. Here is a picture of my ground mounted frankenstein setup. The dish is a rusty old 90cm refugee from the anaolgue days. The original LNB arm was butchered a long time ago to fit a home made multi LNB bracket. When I decided to motorise it I had to use a spare part from another dish as the LNB arm was now useless. The white arm you see in the picture is square but the fittings are all round hence the need for the short (improvised) support arms you can see in the second picture. The Selfsat 'squish' sitting on top of the pole is fixed on 28.2E for use with my Sky HD box. It's not supposed to work this far north but I've yet to lose a picture even during recent heavy rain showers. The location of the install is very well sheltered and luckily the 90 degrees line of sight gives me 45E to 45W. I lose 43W/45W when the leaves grow on the trees but no great loss there. I get most of the major sat locations in that range with the exception of 4W, 7W and Thor 3 @ 1W. I do, however, pick up Badr 4 (inc MBC channels) some verticals on 21.6E and all of the Nordic beams @ 4.8E. I intend to replace the dish at some point and tidy up the cabling but will wait until the proposed building work that the local housing association are planning goes ahead (long overdue as you can see from the pictures  . | ||
