I hope you do get admc sport on 26 east,i tried my 2.4m dish a few months ago in the summer time still i lost all signal in the rain.For 24/7 signal in the uk no matter what the weather is,you have to look at a dish of 3.0m + the admc receiver has the worst tuner i have ever seen.I gave up with my admc box and sold it,and i have never looked back.

Its a bit of a toss up between Badr 6 & Nilesat 201. I think Badr 6 is a little stronger from the few UK reports Ive seen.

Nice dish mate, great to see it today in the flesh. Hopefully you'll be able to use the Precision feed that comes with the dish that you have. Think though that you'd have to grind a lot more off the the C120 flange than I thought, as the receptical is smaller than I thought. Still, you could use the flange from the OMT you have as a template. Well I assume its an OMT, not seen one before.

By the way guys, the dish is a spun aluminium made by Precision.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Fab result for a sub-optimal alignment.

Be interesting to see just what can be achieved when it's totally finished.

Well done mate i had the same signal on Ad Sport 11804 H,with the tm 6900.When you get the Admc Sport Box it will knock around,20%-25% off the signal because of the crap tuner on the Admc Sport Box.
