Quick heads up for anyone round here hunting the ITV HD versions.
Although it was updated on Flysat on the 11/8/2016, I only found out by accident the other day, ITV HD Anglia East has moved to 11068V from 11097 V and is a lot easier catch in the fringe areas
 
Found this on my travels today, looks lovely! Did note, no longer used as motorised , wonder what that actuator could drive , look closely , it is no longer being used!

Is it a CM 2.4m?
 
Don´t know, did not get close enough to see any markings on it , but it does look like it could be. If it is , it´s the first one I´ve seen in the flesh ( so to speak )
That jack looks powerful as well , and not being used. Wonder if I could remove the jack and lock the dish in place without it ?
Have to go back there in the next few days as they are having problems with a Foxsat HD bos I moved to the bedroom to make room for the new Humax Freesat box.
 
Well if you need help to take it down give me a call.

I´d love to take the dish down, but they are still using it as a fixed dish, so not an option.
Just thinking could I " borrow " the actuator without causing problems.
That said, I do have a second hand Fam 1.8 I could put in its place, or even the spare new Laminas I have.
Need to check it out closely next time I´m there :D
 
You need to have a chat with them see if they would be happy for a trade even if it costs you a bit. That dish would be great for C band. Mouth watering here.
 
Think it is a CM , found some photos of one here , looks the same

A fresh start with Channel Master 240 | DRHANS Online

Did notice the lnb if failing or the dish is out of alignment as was only getting about 9dBm on BBC 1 South. That said it was Wednesday and may have been around the 11:30 mark I checked it. Solar outage may have been affecting the signal.

As an aside, what is it worth , roughly , assume good condition?
 
No idea what it is worth. Offset version is about 3k new.
 
Blimey, didn't realise @drhans was still publishing reviews. Nice to see them...have been reading a lot of them in the noughties.
