Just curious ....

When the farmhouse next door sells, I might try to get them to let me site the Triax in their field just behind my small back garden. At that point, the Motor will probably be replaced by a 36V positioner/actuator.[/QUOTE]

Ah Ah, Cows love to lick, horses love to kick, electric fence comes to mind, or as I do, sheep hurdles Bah

Making use of pre-existing holes in masonry

Easy maintenance

Visual impact reduction (Only the 28E Dish and the 80cm Motorised can be seen from off my property)

The fact that there are several very large trees potentially (and, in some cases, actually) blocking line of sight, thus limiting scope for an holistic approach

"Organic" development (If I knew now then what I know now, it might all be quite different!)

I bet you're glad you asked ................

Oh, ok then - I'll leave all the food shopping in the car and spend time demonstrating to ye of little faith that this is, in reality, a brilliant piece of compromise engineering and not a fudge at all. At all.

The hedge that marks my rear boundary is only a few metres from the Dish Wall.

As can be seen, Trees (Whoppers, too!) are sitting smack in the arc East of 20E.

As can also be seen, the Field behind provides lots of options for the future. Potentially.

sorry about the picture quality ..me mams got me good one at skegness lol ... can t wait till i get me new hoose i will make a better job me satellite stuff and maybe get me hand on some tripods three leged wall brackets .. i can t seem to find any anywhere ...

**satelliteman** · 18-06-2009

Nice set up

...Although as mentioned before Lee, the polar mount bar extension that you have there may work but wasn't designed for coupling the two bars together. There are two small arms that come with this version of polar mount as standard, you can use either one depending on how you mount the jack. You shouldn't need to extend the original bar by joining together. A 12 inch jack will easily allow the mount to reach the polar E&W limits. I asked the questions and that was the answers I got.

If it works then all well and good

**leez** · 18-06-2009

yeah m8 , i seemed to get it to go with single bar , but as i had never really installed one , i did nt know what was right and what was wrong m8 just more or less pictures to go off lol ... but i must admit the single bar is what its designed for friend ..when i get me new hoose i will put right cheers ..

**satelliteman** · 18-06-2009

These dishes perform fairly well. Not sure what satellites your getting on it up in your neck of the woods though Lee

**leez** · 18-06-2009

eye m8 its mad how its still pinging all the sats with good levells ..im sure paul the reason i had joined the two bars together cause the members on the site were saying it had to be longer ..but as you say m8 you asked the makers and thats what the design is so thats the way it should be with the one bar m8 ..good stuff

yes i must admit i like them .. they are very light easy to work with and yeah good performers .. i may have a go at the verticals on nilesat m8 ..sometime , prob be looking at 1 .8 min ..paul .. up here , paul i dont know about you but i don t like the triax dishs i hate the elevation method ..id rather stick with these , mind the hardest job with the gibertini dish is getting it delivered without the dish face been damaged ..lol .. paul can you pick up nilesat verts

yes mint ..i wish i could , i tested at night one time cant remember wich tp it was on vertical p .. got about 63 % quality on tm 1500 . wheir i needed 66 at min for lock .. very few people have tried up here ive noticed ..paul .. their is a sports bar tried , they must of paid a fortune for what looks like a 2 m + dish , i think he was going for horizontals but can t see him getting a sniff ( what i have read )..prob veritacls though ..he got a proper company to fit from down south ..god knows how much he paid .but would nt you think he would of had to get planing permision ..anyway dying to see if i can pull in with 1 .8 ..your a lucky man lol ..the damm north lol

***wod*** · 18-06-2009

with the dish up that high, what range of satellites can you receive ?

should be good for at least 45e-45w range.

not quite m8 .. 42 east to 30 west ..i never really tested any further than 42 due to not much being their ... im pretty limited to 30 west cause of the roof ... one time i did have a mesh dish at the top of the gable end, ..... but it was just to exposed .. i did think of getting bigger pole and seperate brackets a bit take the dish higher ..but me lass did nt like the idea lol .. i also use to think is it worth m8 for whats available ... i would love a ground mount but no chance garden to small and house would tower above the dish restrict east big style ...i live in hope lol

**leez** · 19-06-2009

if i had been next door i would of had a very good line of sight ..i supose the only thing about this location is you can really attack nilesat from the back garden ..so a ground mount could work ..i recon that nile sat ( 7 west) would be just off straight out down the street ..so it would every chance of pulling in the verts tps ..

***CROSSBONES*** · 02-07-2009

Very well set up nunoV.

Nice that you also show the set up diagram

**Llew** · 02-07-2009

Yes, that's a very nice professional setup NunoV. Best of both worlds, plenty of choice with your fixed dishes plus motorised for those sats 'in between'
