No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Nice setup, plenty of satellites to watch, assuming there's something good on!!! :D

Your aerial's in a really bad spot though, as depicted by the damaged element on the reflector, which will impair it's performance, you might want to consider moving it somewhere else... :)

Very nice! Did you extend the lnb arm on the zone 2 dish, to allow for the correct focal distance?

Also like the Gregorian dish;)

Certainly looks the business, well done :) did you not need a stronger bracket with the extra weight of the multiple lnbs?

it was a Multi Feed Holder for a Gibertini dish, fixed to the dish via a 2" extention. the extention piece being 20x30mm L shaped alu bar, cable tied to the original arm.
