My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

Well done Dave. A little tip with the bracket on the dish, if it was warm when you tightened the the elevation bolts, tighten them really well, as when the weather gets cold, the plastic of the back plate shrinks, the bolts loosen and the dish drops in elevation.

Thanks rolfw, a very handy tip mate, checked the bolts and they did need a tweak,i,m changing the dish this w/e for a 1mtr eliptical mesh dish, the Lidl dish in the photo was only meant as a temporary measure.

I thought the dish looked like a Lidl dish, only with a load of rust at the top(?)...
