Hello all,
My first post here...I'm really glad that I found this forum!:-worship
After some inactive years (due to a major reconstruction job at my house) I managed recently to put up once again my sat system.As you can see from my profile,it's a modest/old line of components but that's all I could get in a region where satellite receiving was an expensive sport a while ago.
Thus been said,I encountered a problem with the plastic LNB clamp:it presents some serious cracks on the lower side of the 40 mm neck.I used some Epoxy to put the pieces on place and now it holds pretty well but I know that this is only a temporary solution...I'd like to replace it with a new one.
The only store I found is at
_http://www.satellitesuperstore.com/dishes-motors2.htm
(the item is somewhere at half page).
My question is:does somebody know another source for this (rather obsolete) part?
The price asked on satellitesuperstore.com is unexpectedly high (as compared to,say,a Titanium LN...not that I'm cheap but....or maybe I have a wrong picture?
Aside of that,because of my prior unpleasant experiences with orders coming from UK (the local customs are playing havoc here),I'd prefer another (from continental Europe or US) dealer to work with (no pun intended).
My second problem is regarding the so-called "skew" of a LNB.
My dish is motorised (five years ago,I managed to get everything having a fair footprint in my area,between 18W and 36E) and I read somewhere on this board that on motorised dishes you don't need to take the skew angle into account but align the LNB on 90 degrees with the horizontal dish' axis.Is that true?
Thank you very much from your time and help!
Best regards,
Le Basseur
