well ,Finaly i decided to take down the motorized Gibertini and swaped it with a fixed (for now at least )CM 1.80 exclusively for Astra2,i must say the Dish is simply Fantastic ,design and performance wise,i had to call 3 friends to help me out as its very heavy and being so high in the building it did give us some scary moments , thankfully ,now i do have a Rock solid 24/7 BBC1 signal ..and all Vertical transponders , here is some snaps i toke earlier today ..enjoy ...cheers | ||

My System: 1.2M, & 55cm Gregorian Dish`s, 1.8m Precision dish Jaeger 1224 H-H motor.Dreambox 800, Vbox-II. SS2 Card. | My dish did shake, but I put it down too using the wrong size support. I used a 3" pole, as the original is 4.5" I think? I did fill it with concrete, but the length from the ground was quite long. I did try and steady it with T & K`s but didnt work too well. (was located by the side of my shed) | ||

My System: Kabel BW | Congrats for your new setup pipino. I have to agree with CROSSBONES. It would be a pity not to motorize such a nice piece of dish. In your profile you say there's a Famaval 1.90m in your posession. I would be very interested in hearing if its efficiency is far lower than the much more solid built Channel Master. | ||

My System: Kabel BW | Thanks pal. I've just had a look to the specifications: _http://www.famaval.pt/en/tiki-index.php?page=antenas_180 which show that it is not 1.90m but 1.79m. But a Channel Master looks to be better built and last longer in harsh weather conditions. | ||

My System: Kabel BW | Unfortunately not, but maybe some people on german boards. What do you want to know except of the f/d ? Since it's >20 years old we do speak of a PFA, right ? | ||

My System: Kabel BW | Alright then take some photos tomorrow and think about what you would like to know exactly about it. It might help if you upload the photos on a public available service (imageshack, directupload,..) so that even people having not an account here on this board can access them. This way maybe members from german boards can answer your questions. | ||

My System: Kabel BW | Look, for me it's the same, but i know for sure that there are plenty of people that are either lazy to register in other boards or just don't speak English at all so that even the process of registration is a pain if their native language is not in the choice of the available ones. If particularly these people might be able to help it would be a pity. I could recommend pipino to register in certain german boards as well but if somebody here could help him this would be the best solution. | ||
