My System: Gibertini 1M XP Premium - Inverto Black Ultra .2db LNB - Technomate 2200 motor - Vantage 7100 HD. 57E - 22W - 60cm solid oval dish fixed on 28.2 - Humax Freesat HD - Sony Bravia LCD - Sony BluRay and Sony Home Cinema
Gibertini 1M XP Premium

Hi,

Rather than wait for someone to turn up to give me a hand I decided to try and install this on my own. Luckily the dish can be accessed with only a two section (loft!!) ladder as it's less than 3 metres from the ground.

I first unpacked everything and assembled the dish in the living room to make sure there were no missing parts. It all went together brilliantly and I was impressed by the additional nuts welded onto the bottom of the wing nuts, the plastic inserts on the nuts to hold the dish surface onto the mount and the hinged cast metal lnb holder, with a bolted and sprung allen keyed arrangement to hold it onto the arm. If you had a couple of spare holders it would make swapping over lnb's really simple. The allen key clips onto a plastic mount stuck onto the dish bracket so it's available whilst working on the dish outside.

I took it all apart and installed the dish mount onto the motor stub, trying to ensure it went on in line with the centre of the stub. I then installed the dish support bracket with attached lnb and arm and wired up my lnb to the motor.

Now for the difficult part. I thought it would be fairly easy to offer up the actual dish surface to the support bracket, fitting and tightening the bolts whilst up the ladder. I did it but it wasn't easy, trying to lean backwards, hold the dish and a screwdriver in the bolt end whilst tightening on the back with a small ratchet socket.

If I were taller than 5'4" or blessed with extra long arms it would have been more straightforward and I would not contemplate this method higher than gutter level. Even then I would use a standoff and rope myself up.

I set the dish elevation to the same (25°) mark as I had had on the Triax, although the azimuth required a little more adjustment than the elevation. In all the install took just over two hours.

I did rough alignments with a cheap needle/tone meter so it will require finer adjustments with the aid of a tv and receiver. Luckily I can place these where I can easily see them while tinkering.I'll post transponder results comparing it with my Triax TD88 later this week if I get time.

Pete

Wod,

Actually the Triax was light grey and it rather stood out so I thought the red might blend in a bit better. It may fade over the autumn/winter. At least it doesn't have 'Gibertini' plastered over the front! Anyway when I get the Andrews.........................

Wod,

No, I think it stops here I have various projects to be carried out on the house (double glazing, new staircase, repairing the roof and a new septic tank) so new satellite dishes, of any make, size or colour will have to wait till summer next year!!!

sorry Pete but I agree with Wod...the place is not exposed ...I would go even further than 1.2 cm . At the contrary, I have to stop at 1.0 cm being exposed and in a windy Country ...

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I fear that any 'dish improvements' will have to wait as my 'plastic' is in meltdown.

Lauro, I'm sure it was a typo, but I seem to have already gone beyond "1.2cm"

Ops...I meant 1.2 meter

I will also check that frequency ...but allow me to tell you that I just ordered an Inverto Black Ultra single...it's gonna be "show time" on our Gibertini's

I checked that frequency but not signal at all...do you get the 4 Al Jazera sport @12284V? And do you know why I can watch them if they are encripted in Irdeto 2?

Yes..that's the one...but only now I realized you are not in UK but in France...right?

Finally I got why we do see those channels: it is due to our firmwares as TM and CT are the same receivers :-)

Yes, but Northern France, about the same latitude as Paris I think. I'm not sure how much difference it makes to Nilesat reception, but obviously some

Lauro,

When you receive your 'Black Ultra' (why did they have to think of a name which sounds like a condom?) you might want to try it pushed towards the dish focus by 3cm. I was tinkering a little last night and found that worked best for me. By the way I was still receiving 'H' transponders from Nilesat at about 10:30 this morning!

Thanks for the tip Pete but probably the Premium has a larger diameter...anyway consider yourself very lucky for receiving H Nilesat TP's...and with your TM you don't need to buy a Al Jazeera card

Think you are slightly misreading my profile, I have a Technomate motor and a Vantage HD receiver. Unless you know something I don't?

Do you use firmwares for Vantage ? Otherwise I can't understand why you can encrypt al jazzera sport on Nilesat

Lauro,

Vantage is exactly as it came out of the box, no software upgrades. However, according to this months 'TeleSatellite' Al Jazeera Sports and Sports 2 are FTA. Al Jazeera Sports +1 to +4 are encrypted.
