My System: 7 dishes. 9 LNBs. And a whole load of receivers + One broken TV.
you might call it a mess, i call it twin lnbs in action

Just for fun, this is "work in progress".

I present the "Homemade monoblock", Astra/Hotbird. Tuned with analogue receiver then tested digitally, works OK on 60cm dish.

The minidish is supposed to be 28.2/Eurobird, but for some reason I couldn't find it! More perserverance required!

Cheers

Likvid - have you ever thought of adding some kind of heated element to you dish face/reflector? I guess snow is a regular occurence in your part of the world. It wouldn't have to heat much, just enough to keep it above zero degrees (Celcius - not East or West!)...

There is an English saying which is very similar "The cobbler's children always go worst shod".

My System: Manhattan 5900, Infinity USB, Panasonic skybox & triax zone2, Gemini 90 and other dishes, triax & grundig lnbs
Smile Tire mount

Here's some pictures of a project I'm working on

The dish is normally aimed roughly at 28E (depends on wind strength) for the free sky stuff, and occasionally sports an extra LNB for astra 19E!

These were taken last year and christmas day - who bet it would snow?

triax 0.6dB & grundig 0.7dB LNBs, 70 cm steel mesh dish, string, rocks, 175/70 radial

I like the setup NiCad, nice to see Analoguesat is no longer alone.
