Truly stunning!

What size is the 28E dish .............. not sure exactly where in NW Spain you are, but Cantabria & Asturias are somewhat variable on required size and Galicia can be quite difficult.
 
Amazing miguelgo!!

Please let us know the sizes of the dishes you use

especialy4:

astra 2d
nilesat /ab4a
turksat

Dish farm indeed. Great set up there :)
 
That's a great set-up miguelgo. I don't think anyone on the forum has anything approaching that number :-wow
 
Any room for a lodger?
 
Hello Miguelgo,

Why did you go for all those dishes rather than grouping multiple satellites on fewer dishes? For example you could have put 7ºE, 13º and 19ºE on one dish, 23ºE, 26ºE and 28ºE on the Gibertini with 28ºE central, 39ºE and 42ºE on an 80cm, 1ºW, 5ºW and 12.5ºW on another, 7/8ºW and 15ºW on a fifth, Hispasat and 24ºW on a sixth.
 
Hello again...
Thank you very much for all words about my installation (sorry, my english is low)

My dish sizes:

Hot Bird 13º E (80 cm)
Astra 19.2º E (60 cm)
Astra 23.5ºE (100cm)
Arabsat Badr 26º E (100cm)
Astra 2D / Eurobird-1 28.2ºE - 28.5ºE (135 cm)
Hellas 39.0º E (100cm)
Turksat 42.0º E (100cm)

WEST:
Intelsat 10 / Thor-5 1.0ºW
Atlantic Bird -3 5.0 W (100cm)
Atlantic Bird -4 / Nilesat 7º W (120 cm)
Atlantic Bird-1 12.5º W (100cm)
Telstar-12 15.ºW (100cm)
Hispasat 30º W (60 cm)
Atlantic Bird-2 8.0ºW (100cm)
Intelsat-905 24.5ºW (120 cm)

The location is Lugo, in Galician region (Spain)
I receive 85-95% the channels of 28.2º-28.5º, only I don´t receive Channel4, Five and BBC Three, I think that I need a 150cm or 180 cm to receive all 100% British channels.
I like install a 180 dish to C band to receive Latinamerica channels from NSS806 at 40.5ºW

Thanks...
Miguel
 
brilliant mate -- thanks for the pictures --

Hello eggs, I thought the option that you say, but I preferred to install a dich to each orbital position and not lose any transponder, also tried with a multiblock and did not like the result.

I find I can get quite a bit from that satellite with a 1.5m dish on an offset LNB so a 1.8m should be plenty.

Can you receive with a 1.5 m Globovision and RCTV Mundo from Venezuela?
 
What a wonderful set-up! I too am in Lugo,and can confirm that a 150cm centre focus dish is not big enough for BBC 3/4, Film 4, and FTA Channel 5. 1m80, however, will get everything.
 
very nice, no neighbours around either to complain.

I can get Globovision, but I can't lock 3836R. It could be down to the low symbol rate, but probably down to the dish not being big enough, or that the C-band LNB is not the central LNB on the dish.
