@gap30 Seems that you will have nice sightseeing 180 miles trip over the weekend :-rofl2 And you will need a trailer for that journey. If I were you I would not bother adding another 100 miles, as 180 is more than enough :-lol

A bit off topic but after a bit of advice, is this worth an 180 mile round trip, the dish is free I just have to dismantle it

All i know is its a 2m dish and thats it

Does anyone know what it is?

I don't know what it is but there's a bit more detail here. Are you sure it is 2m? It is hard to get a scale due to the oblique views. Standard bricks are ~225mm including 10mm for mortar and, using that as a scale, it doesn't look like 2m but the perspective adds confusion. If that is 4.5" gutter, the pole looks like 3-4"

yes it has me a little confused also does not look 2m to me

More importantly is it worth driving 90 miles there and back for?

Was kinda hoping the more experienced would say yes thats a 'such and such go get it' :/

Are you sure that is a 2 metre dish? It looks to be held onto the wall by T & K brackets, its just my opinion but I would not anchor a 2 metre dish to a house wall using T & K brackets. If the dish is free and it is good shape then a 180 mile round trip is well worth it if it is 2 metres. I cant see that dish being 2 metres, possibly 1.2 metres?

Is it on gumtreee or eBay or some other site, a link would be useful?

What makes you say that?

Is it not worth the trip in your opinion

It looks like a 1.2 mtr dish I forget its name atm, from reading they don't perform two well, you can pick a 1,2 channel master dish up for £40 ish

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Not sure about the receiver, but motorized CM 1.2m is very good choice. Congratulations!

Reciever going straight in the bin unless anyone wants it?
