My System: Sky minidish, Thomson Digibox Hoping to bring an old analogue dish back to life on 28.2 in the near future! |
Hi, i'm new on here, basically i'm after some advice. I have a white amstrad fidelity satellite dish, one of the first sky dishes from 1989, I am very keen on restoring it, I plan to take it apart, rub down and respray the tripod bracket, respray the actual dish and LNB arm, replace all the screws, nuts and bolts etc, and even replace the amstrad fidelity sticker! Lol. Once complete, I would really like to put the dish back into use, and was wondering if it might work for Sky Digital if i fit a quad LNB and align it to 28.2? | ||
