My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.
Pictures of Members' Systems

Shamelessly stole this idea from MJH on Toecutters.
So everyone post pictures and info on your systems and dish installations.

This is a pictorial section, so please "actually upload" your photos using the manage attachments function in advanced posting, please do not link to them.

Externally my little 85cm DiseqC setup, threw it up quickly to test a receiver and it's still there.

pictures-members-systems-transparent-jpgpictures-members-systems-astra28-2-jpg

Then my Astra 28.2e dish from the skip.

The rooftop terrestrial array, CP, Hannington and DAB.

pictures-members-systems-terrestrial-jpg

Internally, the messy bit, constantly swapping things around, so it's never very tidy.

Two PCs, one on the DEN and the other on Satellites plus Trillian.
Digibox, Dreambox and Digiquest 2000.
4 Channel DVR for CCTV on test
Couple of videos, no longer plugged in, must take to dump.
2 Printers, bubble jet and Lazer.
Oh yes and a mini record deck for inputting to sound card for converting Vinyl to CD. (not yet done one though)

Well you know what they say about the mechanic and his own car. I believe the German expression is "The cobbler always goes shoeless".

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100

When do you find time to work?

Won't be posting any ictures at the moment I'm afraid. Although I've got several dishes and LNBs outside all I've got inside is a Sony dodgybox. The Nokia 9800S went tits-up last year and I haven't got around to fixing it yet.

This is mine, with lots of help from CH.

Indoors is a Force D-Master 1122s with EMB via and conax. Must say the conax slot works great with a Tit card. I have a MR in CI slot 1 and this also works well. My dish can move from 62E to 45W but I only have sats between 45E and 45W loged.

So I presume the one on the back is/was pointed at 30W at time of photo , looks to have pretty heavy skew.

My System: 1200cc with 100,000,000,000 neurons and 100,000,000,000,000 connections

You’re all making me very jealous with these nice setups...

I’m in a university flat, outside I have an outlook over trees and a (now nearly completed) building. So that’s leaves me inside with a old OnDigital set top box, as you can see this really is a set top box, blu tack and tape are holding it onto the TV that is smaller than the box itself. I was only going to try it out on this tiny TV before getting some cable and using it with my PC TV tuner and nice monitor, but never quite got round to it, and as I am leaving this flat in about a week or so it’ll be staying there just a little longer.

Hi folks

A run through of my setup -

A twin feed from a SMW motorised dish (yes it's that old) feeds :-

[1] Upstairs: Fortecstar FSCI 5100, Aston Simba and/or RSD ODM300. Echostar AD3000IP (turns the dish). TV's rescued from neighbourhood skips and got working with a little TLC.

[2] Downstairs: Triple Dragon DBS3000 & Humax HD2000 (priority switch with diseqc to above dish, and a fixed dish for Hotbird/Astra 19.2). Skybox for when in couch potato mode. Sony Bravia LCDTV.

Nice setup Llew, like the spectrum as well, makes life easy when moving the dishes.

Hi Rolfw

The only problem with the speccy is that it only tunes to 1750Mhz - I have to use a downconverter from the universal LNB to reach up to the higher freqs,which messes up the readout. So I have to get the calculator out to obtain a true reading.Then I have to go and have a lie down.

Blurry hell Norm, you may want to trim those photo's down a bit, they are half a meg each ....... Thank goodness I had my 1Meg connection set up today.

PS, nice setup.
