[QUOTE="hairybadger, post: 881075, member: 389459"] It was the first dish I ever set up (well, discounting an episode when I was a student when I thought I could install a Sky dish by strapping it to the chimney with some climbing rope and doing a bit of "left a bit, right a bit") and I didn't find it *that* hard (heavy, though...). My father-in-law made the support - he's pretty handy with an arc-welder. I managed to snap off one of the bolts on the plate though while I was doing them up, so there are only three bolts in there. Considering the force it took to snap the bolt I don't think I'm ever going to get it out :) I've added a few guy cables as well. The rationale behind buying a T-90 was so that I could get Canalsat (19.2E) and Freesat (28.2E) with the same dish. I have 19.2E at dead centre. Once I'd worked out that the entire dish needed to be skewed it wasn't too hard - once you have two birds lined up the rest are just a matter of placing the LNBs on the bar. The problem of course with the T-90 is that once you've started adding heads it's hard to stop.... :) [/QUOTE]
