Nice on C-Bones!
I like the small deflector dish in front of the LNB. Also the fact that there is a Dreambox in your set up!

I've always fancied a Gregorian myself. I didn't know they went above 1.2m though.

If you find a 1.8m one let me know if there's a second one!

Fibo never made a 1.8M gregorian dish, they made 55cm, 90cm, and 120cm.

Channel Master or Andrew what it is called now have a 1.8M Gregorian and a 2.4M.

But it's hefty prices around $3000 for the 1.8M.

Knock 2 zeros off the end and I'd be interested!

Yes fibo did used to make 1.8`s m8. There was a guy on toe`s who made an actuator mod for the fibo`s and the picture`s he had were of the 1.8m`s.

Ask Ray from sprectrum, as he used to sell them.

Hej Johan,

Producerade ni någonsin en 180cm Gregoriansk parabol? eller var det bara 55cm, 90cm, samt 120cm?

Tack på förhand.

My System: 1.2m motorised dish Technomate TM1000-CI Scientific Atlanta 9225 Scientific Atlanta 9661 Sony UVW Beta SP VTR
Talking My Monitoring Area

Howde - Couldn't resist posting a picture of my monitoring area... having spent three days with a soldering iron and a bag of cable ties refitting it all! Pictured are Technomate TM1000-CI, Scientific Atlanta 9661 and 9225 PowerVu receivers, S*cam transcoder, JVC VHS recorders, Sony UVW-1400 Betacam SP recorder, Sony PCM-2700 DAT recorder and a PPM meter bridge. All are switched centrally on mains distribution units and housed in twin 46u racks. The dish is a motorised 120cm ISS dish up on the flat roof. And people think I'm a nerd????... ho-hum!!! :-)

Tom.

That's a very professional installation Tom. Definitely not your (my) run-of-the mill domestic setup

More pictures of my setup

Here's some larger shots of the monitoring area, this isn't its full time purpose... I'm a video editor during working hours, hence the various bits of broadcast kit. It just seemed wrong to have a flat roof, a whole load of sky and a racks room without a bloody big dish to complete the picture!

Serious kit - what do you edit on 'Avid' or the like?

Amazing how the technology has evolved in the video edit field - has moved from high end to home PC. Same thing happened with desk top publishing - the equipment became cheap and home PC compatible.

With DTP everyone thought they could design - just because they had the tools (I don't think so!).
Same thing will happen with desktop video - until people realise, it's talent, not equipment that creates great work.

IMHO

Hi Gameboy... nice to see you've got a G5! We abandoned using Avid a while ago - I use Final Cut Pro HD Studio on a dual 2.7GHz G5.

Oh, and in my cellar there is a modulator inserting two feeds into the cable TV network. Sadly only two-channel sound but to all TV sockets in the house

Ooohh, I’m dribbling at the thought!

How about this for a sh*t-hot assembly! Sadly it’s not a member’s setup, and I only wish I could claim it as mine – it does in fact belong to Anglia TV (or to be more precise Granada Media). The Anglia TV dish is a bit of a landmark in Norwich as it looks out over two sets of busy traffic lights. I think it’s a 3.5m prime-focus, but it’s filthy and I’ve certainly never seen it pointing in any other direction – if you look closely at the enclosures mounted to its tripod they’re quite badly eaten away by rust. I’m not exactly sure how long it’s been up the pedestal in the car park but I guess it must be 20+ years. A colleague of mine is related to someone at Anglia and rumour has it this is no longer in broadcast operation but simply feeds a portable TV in someone’s office… I shall dig further.
