Technomate 1500 CI+
80cm Polycarbnate Dish
0.3db Universal LNB
Moteck Digipower Motor
- My Location
- Totnes, Devon 50.4320N, 3.6690W
I installed my motorised system only to find that my dish would not be able to receive hispasat from it's location on side of the house.
Option 1
Put dish in back garden
Problem
2 big Rotweillers would eat it
Option 2
Put the dish on the front of the house
Problem
Girlfriend would do a John Bobbit on me (ouch)
Option 3
Move the dish to the roof
My setup included a 80cm polycarbonate dish but I have noticed that it does suffer in rain / high winds quite badly. South West is real stormy lately
The reason I went for this dish is because I wanted the installation to be as discreet as possible and didn't want to get into trouble for having a dish larger than 90cm.
But my roof is high up and no one is going to want to go up a ladder and measure my dish to see if I am breaking the rules.
My Question
What is the best dish up to 1.2m diameter that I can get
best = great signal strength / little maintenance / good value / not too ugly
It will have to be suitable for a diseqc 1.2 rotor so dish weight may be a factor
Thanks
