Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | Crumbs boro59, missed those photos. That is an accident waiting to happen, the chimney is only just about big enough to carry that sized dish, but only if you use a strap/cable lashing mount, the T&Ks bolted into the brickwork will become easily detached in high wind conditions. the brackets don't need to be that long either, just provides more leverage.

My System: 2xPace 430N, 1xNokia MM9800, 1xNokia 80cm Sat Dish, 1xGibertini 120cm, Big Fat Furry Puss | Jumping on the ship with this one. To be fair, you can't see the bottom of boro's terrifiying roof shot. Maybe the mounting pole (goes through the roof) and secures itself to the attic beams (quite typical here in Germany). At least I hope so. Kind of missed these pics as these shots are quite similar to xednom's equally terrifying roof shots. Did you injure yourself negotiating a stupendously inclined roof and fall off without the neighbours noticing..... sats.co.kz .. can make an all fee no win claim against your parish priest .... For G's sake be careful.

My System: Technomate 1500ci+, Diseqc1.2 h-h sg2100a motor, Triax 90cm dish, 0.2 lnb, | Hi all, Thanx for all your concerns was very easy installing on chimney as my attick has been converted so i just take everything through attick window brackets are very well secured bolted to chimney scaffy bar rests on roof tiles to take some of the strain off brackets, I`m in the process of getting some lashing for it. My only other south facing wall is the gable end wich is obstructed neighbours house so the best place to get east to west clearly was chimney. | ||

Just don't take too long with the lashing kit.

A through the roff mount would be the best option and not that difficult to do, but it depends what type of room is underneath.

I don't want to spoil the great job you've done, just worried about your safety and the insurance. If you don't have permission for a dish that size and something happens chances are they won't pay out. Better safe than sorry. | ||

My System: 2xPace 430N, 1xNokia MM9800, 1xNokia 80cm Sat Dish, 1xGibertini 120cm, Big Fat Furry Puss | Very definitely after the fact .... Given that boro has just done a loft conversion - I guess there might not be many rafters that a poke through the roof job would easily answer. But I would like to throw-in a daft one. What goes up a wall to the roof. A chimney? And where is boros install? Being the daft self-installer that I am (i.e., absolutely my own stuff, lol) - I would think chimney breast/party wall. So, a lenghty pole, flashed on the roof, but, anchored firmly on the inside attic wall: thus, not requiring any chimney attachments. The neighbourhing houses give you some idea of their 'age' - and that chimney does look like it needs some attention: with or without the fantastic new sat kit. I say, good on boro for pulling-off a self-install - even though I know the pros here have the experience to pull the chimney down with their knowledge, lol.

My System: Various | The 'big black lnbs' are just plastic weather protection covers for the lnbs. If you look carefully at the Orbitron labelled one, you can see the feedhorn jutting out on the right hand side. From the size of the feedhorn, it looks to be Ku-band. | ||
