My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

Crikey, that's a bit of a relic.

That LNB looks more like the kylstron based doo-dah's we Radio Hams used to fiddle about with back in the days before everything became black box.

You could probably cook your dinner with it, too!

Is it a dish, or is it an aerial?

Took this today, was fitting a loft antenna and this is what had been used by the previous occupant with not particularly good results, in fact abysmal. The first picture is after removal from loft.

Yes normally, but this was cobbled together by someone and being in a loft, really didn't matter at the time.
