My System: DISH ONE:-Sky HD on a Zone 1 dish with Quad LNB using x2 Connections @ 28.2 Deg. DISH TWO:- is single Zone one with a single LNB @ 19.2 Deg coupled to a Comag Porty II reciever for FTA german TV. |
This is my flat. It's a block of 4. I live on the top floor on the right hand flat. The pictures:- Let me explain.... Sat5.jpg :- Well, the right hand dish used to have the quad LNB on it and the dish was poined to 28.2 Degrees. When I installed the 2nd dish which on the pic is the left hand one, I was unable to get the angle needed for 19.2 Degrees. So, I swapped cables and LNB over and re aligned the dishes. Sat2.jpg:- I live in a rented flat. The right hand dish was already there. I am not allowd to make ANY external mods that might damage the property. This does include putting holes in the walls and bricks. So, I undid the two left hand bolts on the right hand dish bracket and slid the left hand bracket under it and put the two bolts back in.. Sat1.jpg:- Shows the end result of my work....! My advice here, I had to remove the old two coax cables which were thick and nasty. now, you will want to put your new ones in. If you can eget hold of the sky man ask for some twin coax, This stuff is great, its very much thinner then the coax and all I did was taped the twin stuff to the old thick stuff and pulled it through. | ||

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. | So this is the beast referred to in your 19.2E/PVR Thread, then. Ingenious solution so far ................. Twin Tuner reciver on 1 LNB @ 19.2 Degrees | ||

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos there's no room for dishes here... :( The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Can I suggest giving your lens a wipe? Nice install, and I like the 2-in-1 approach to the overlapped brackets, saves bolts I guess...  | ||

I was quite surprised that using a zone one dish that I got as good a signal as I did @ 19.2 - My strength and Quality measure at 78% on that dish. The sat finder is almost at the end of teh scale. So, I was happy. Remembering that the "looser" dish of the two in my pic has become the "sky" dish and the more fixed dish is my "euro" dish! | |||

My System: Sky+HD Astra+Hotbird FTA on 60 cm dish | Not too sure about the two bolts holding the dishes in place. Might have been better just to drill fixing holes for the second dish as they can always be filled with a clear silicone sealant if the dish needs to be removed. Just shows how useful the Sky minidish can be with other high power satellites,my first non Sky system used a Zone 2 minidish. | ||
