My System: Technomate 1500ci+ super (upstairs), Phoenix Apollo MC (downstairs) both running off a cheapo 80cm dish with a twin output monoblock 13° & 19.2°. Sky+ (downstairs) piped 'round the house.
giving my equipment a plug ;)

Thought I show a piccy of my 'main' PC! (TM 1500 & DVD recorder on desktop), pretty humdrum, but I hope you'll be impressed by the shelf dedicated to extensions and plugs..... 22 plugs (+ 3 more on l/h side), 25 in total .
Scares the missus to death ....
Second PC in same bedroom less impressive, just a spare really .... another 2 PC's for the kids, 1 in my workshop and a laptop downstairs (No serial port, hence Apollo OTA), all networked.
Phoenix Apollo,sky+ & DVD recorder downstairs.... and god forbid a 'Normal' 28" TV (not even widescreen!), My choice

That has to be the most compact set-up I've seen - you certainly have everything you need to hand.

Great.

Cheers Gameboy son, No consoles though .... modded 1000's of psx, ps1, ps2, xbox's, but don't actually own one myself (can't get into them!, only ever played 2 games to the end, MDK & Quake II on PC!!!).
Compact being the ness', not the choice.... could do with a spare bedroom..... Eldest off to uni' this year, I've got plans for a new super computer/satellite room .

Nice set up Oily, with good clear view of the arc by the looks of it .

One thing though, and this is my own opinion, I would never put the top bracket that high up on a gable end wall. I've seen half a gable end pulled out in high winds with a 80cm dish mounted that high.

Sorry about that remark Oily, but the ex father in law had a cowboy put a 80cm dish up high on the middle of a gable end. He lived in Torquay, Devon half way up a hill. During one of their gales in the 90's lost over 9 rows of bricks. The more rows of bricks above the brackets the stronger the anchor. Hope that you do not have a problem. Not much worth looking at past 45* west anyhow.

Hi Yeshi

Do not forget that water softens the bricks and mortar. so the rawlbolts will pull out. Yyou might not have a big hole in the wall but your pole and dish will come crahing down onto your car.

And heres my new toy - a BSB 35cm minidish picked up for a fiver from Ebay

LNB seems to be 10770 MHz which causes problems with receivers these days...... I managed to get one of the French 5W analogue services on this ancient heap this afternoon, although on a bitterley cold March day it wasnt long before I was driven inside again.

Yes it is a greenhouse. It belongs to my other half. She has the green thumbs and puts her seedlings in there for the slugs to eat every year

Planning on going motorised - probably the big dish this summer. Ive got the motor - just need a warm weekend now to get it set up.

I get some funny looks from the neighbours, but dont really care. They used to be sheilded from view to some degree by dense roses, but next door cut them down last summer...

Note there isnt a decent permanent mount to be seen - 2 sets of fence posts, a tyre, and an old metal post borrowed from the local allotment which has been banged into the ground a couple of feet with my sledge hammer!

nice one, it wouldn't bother me if i was a neighbour of yours not like its a massive 1.8metre or something

you could get a long scaffold pole and mount all the dishes on that ?

Yeah - the 19E dish falls over

It occasionally blows the others out of alignment, but 2 minutes pulling on the dishes normally has them back on beam
