Ok, I've got some new pictures of my setup, so here they are (all links unfortunatly, my images are too big to attatch):

Pic1 - My BSB "branded" Lidl 80cm indoor dish with Bullet holes (I think it looks funny!!!).

Pic2 - My gargantuant Grundig Twin LNB fitted upside-down (as I couldn't raise the dish without losing signal), yes, I took the LNB apart to look inside and then duck-taped it back together!!! :D
(and no, the Net's aren't brown, that's just my phone's camera "colour compensating" for the shadowing around the LN:cool:.

Pic3 - In top to bottom order - PortyII, Pace MSS1000 (I have my MSS300 in pieces (due to two Transistors burning out) so it is not pictured), Nokia 9800S, Grundig GDS 200/1, Thomson DSI4212, Akura DVD Player. (the last three are not powered up due to the obvious Ventilation problems). TV is on the Right (obviously!!! :D )....
Just noticed something, you can see my 2 Flat F connectors infront of my DVD Player...

Pic4 - My wardrobe, Attisat FL500 on the left & my 2 minidishes and Partly-dismantled Channel Master 60cm dishes on the right. (also visible, 2x Regatta coats and the ol' surfboard (Ironing board) and an LNB arm for a Raven Minidish)

Pic5 - The shelf above the dishes, my 4 LNB's (2x Humax 0.3's, 1x Lidl 0.6, 1x Cambridge UIII 0.7) and my Porty kit dish & LNB and the cable from my old sky|digital installation from my old house. In the background are my camping mat, bottle of Jenolite rust eater, my Mobile's box, and my big holdall bag... :D

If you're wondering where all the cables are, they're here there and everywhere!!!! O-Ha

Well, that's my set up, just need to get the 60cm channel master up on the chimneystack with 3 LNB's on it (I'm going to get a different Twin/Quad LNB for Astra 2 as the Grundig is a serious weight) and get it all set up with DiSEqC and have my functional Minidish pointing at 5w...

A few years back I saw that kind of stickers for sale in a web site along with some other "tuning" stuff such as army camouflage, snow covers and some other odd things. Some looked pretty cool, some were utter crap... :rolleyes:

Forgot to mention...
Now thats a wicked setup you have there 2cvbloke. ;)

I remember a TV programme years ago with attatchments for dish faces, like camoflage, brick pattern etc. I like my bullet holes though, and my oversized BSB logo, but I'm going to repaint the dish another colour, cos it stands out like a sore thumb behind the window...

And thanks!!! :D

Nope, have a house, but I have 3 good reasons:

1. I have no garden.
2. I have no ladders.
3. I'm not allowed to drill holes in the house as it's rented.

If I had a garden it'd be out there under a binbag in a pot of cement, or if I was allowed to drill holes in the wall I'd have it out on the front of the house with a minidish for 5w and my 60cm dish for Astra's 1 & 2 & Hotbird...:D

(Yes, I know that's 3 dishes, but I don't think many people would mind)

2cvbloke, you know you can buy flat cable that will run through a closed window? It can bugger up some frequencies on a Porty dish but on an 80cm you're likely have no problems. The lack of garden *might* be a problem though!

FWIW have you checked out any feeds on Hispa? I've been watching live operations today and yesterday (plastic surgery - and in english) and just moments ago there was a feed showing voyeurist pictures of staff on a floor of an office block!

Yeah I have 2 flat-F connectors I bought a couple of months back, intended for use with my 60cm dish, but I've been studying the aerial pole and there isn't enough room for both my dish AND the aerial, and as the aerial technically isn't mine I have to leave that alone... :(

oooh!! Not tried any feeds, frequencies would be handy!!! :D

The surgery feeds are: 12059 H / 4500 (multiscreen) and 12065 H / 4500 (closeup of main screen). It was on all afternoon Thursday (30th) and Friday (31st). Signal was nice and strong too - I even managed to pick it up on a new 35cm dish I was trying!

Channel IDs: TSA E85 and TSAE85 (the space is the only difference)

Hopefully it'll be on again tomorrow

The voyeuristic feed went about 20 minutes ago. It went to colour bars and then a young female reporter outside what looked to be a checkpoint for the entrance of a police station. My spanish is useless and despite PVRing it I can't make out any of it. No idea what station it was for either as her mic only had a red band on it.

BTW I recorded 27 minutes of the "voyeur"/reporter feed and my receiver is saying it took up 1.2 gig!
