Would be nice for everyone post pictures and info on your systems and dish installations. You can either post in this thread, or start your own in this section.

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.



Then my Astra 28.2e dish from the skip.

The rooftop terrestrial array, Crystal Palace, Hannington and DAB.



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

Nice Setup Rolf

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

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.

PoloMint

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.

Hope you can sort out a sat dish on the next one PoloMint.

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.

My livingroom is getting decorated so I had to relocate my sat stuff into a messy back room. Sadly I can only get 19e/13e with this setup oh and 30w im hoping to get a 1m dish installed at some point to pick up more sats

EDIT: I deleted my pictures be accident from my forum attchments! but there back now

OK here goes mine, the BEC 6800CIP receiver, 1.2 motorised Channel Master, the Dell PC and finally, couldn't resist, yesterday's technology - the '58 Seeburg.

Edited to reduce picture size!

Analoguesat

Ok here is my current satellite kit for your enjoyment.

The pic with the 3 dishes shows a 43cm zone 1 Sky dish, which is used for experiments to see what I can get. The middle dish is a secondhand 80cm dish which spends most of its life on 19E, although being mobile has seen service on most of the other satellites too. The dish on the fence is another secondhand 80cm dish which is locked off onto 13E.
The 80cm dishes go to the Echostar 3000IPVA through a disecq switch. The little one goes to whatever Im playing with at the moment

The single dish is a second hand 60cm ex Sky analogue dish, with a twin LNB on it. One feed to the Digibox, the other to the Echostar via the disecq switch. Looking of course at 28E.

Our AV kit - Panasonic 28" widescreen tv. Top of the pile of boxes is the Grundig GDS3000 digibox. Then there is a Panasonic video recorder, the Echostar 3000IPVA, and a Panasonic DVD player / Home Theatre System.

The digibox and video sound outputs are wired up to the HTS, so I can listen to Planet Rock (Sky 861) and wind the volume up loud

Also in pic are 2 Digisenders - one on the Sky box, the other on the Echostar, so we can watch Sky in the kitchen, and the Echostar in bed. And finally an Aiwa music centre.
