We did this one a few years ago but things change

So how many working dishes do you have - ones blocking up holes in the hedge dont count!
 
Ive got 6 atm with plans for a newly acquired 7th to be lashed up as well when Ive got a few minutes :D

1 - 1m on 16E / 23.5E / 28E
2 - 80cm on 19E
3 - 80cm on 13E
4 - 80cm on 9/10E
5 - 80cm on 3.1/5E
6 - 60cm on 28E - our Sky dish

7 - coming soon - 60cm probably on 31.5E or 5W
 
One 88cm triax. 42e-58w
One 60cm down the garden fixed on 13e for now,
 
just 2 dishes

1, 1metre channel master motorised
2, zone 2 minidish for 28e reception

i might have room for another in the garden due to an old shed been taken down, good line of sight for 7west maybe a 2.4m for that lol
 
Just two here, an 85cm transparent on a Moteck motor and an old 60cm reclaimed dish with a quad on it for Sky.:)
 
Two 80cm...

However, these are on two houses so one one each...

But, each dish has three LNBs...

However, I only currently use the 28E LNB on either of them...

Pick the bones out of that lot!
 
One 1.2M motorised dish 57E - 58W

One 90cm fixed* dish, two LNBs for 13E +19E

One 60cm fixed* dish twin LNB for 28E

One 60cm fixed* dish twin LNB for 0.8/1W

*meaning they are 'temporarily fixed' with various weighty objects to satisfy any passing planning jobsworth :p

1 85cm Fracarro Penta - Motorised :D

1 Ex BSB SMATV Channel Master 60cm dish on 28.2e

If you include the others i have put up we can take the total up to about 600 :-lmao

Sorry, doesn't count.

We can all pull that one out of the bag if the need arises! :-rofl2
 
I just have two

One motorised and a sky mini

I'm curious why people would want may differing dishes, wouldn't either a motor or a multi LNB setup be easier to maintain?

I'm thinking of getting a multi-LNB for my motorised system so I can view and record at the same time.
 
I have my Fibo Gregorian 1.2m, and a zone 1 mini dish for my Panasonic freesat HD tv.

But im always changing my dish`s:)

Thought that might be you having taken a trip round the local skips (only joking) :eek:
 
1) 1.2 Motorised Dish with Stab 1.2 Motor 68.5 E - 43 W.

2) 2 X 1M Motorised Dishes with a Moteck Motor each 75 E - 45 W.

3) 1 90cm Motorised Dish with a 90 Stab Motor 68.5 E - 45 W.
 
I've got 2, I don't know why though as I've only got one television. The Fibo 90 I use for blind searches and the 1.5m for general viewing. Both are motorized. I wouldn't mind setting up some other stuff for fast zapping.

Dedicated and tailored systems for other family members with different priorities as regards preferred languages and content

In other words, SWMBO does her own thing!
