Here is my set-up:

What your seeing here, A 80cm perforated ISS dish with two Multi-LNB brackets joined together with 7e,13e,19e & 28e feeding a Octagon 4 0.2dB way diseqc switch feeding my Technomate 6800+ HD receiver and two additional feeds from the 28e quad going straight to my Amstrad $ky HD box.

Nice!

Can't see behind the dish, but I assume you've got, in effect anyway, drip loops to stop water tracking where it ought not?
 
Just in the process of up loading more photo's, the upload cap makes it a bit tricky, but I read the Sticky & I am resizing!
 
Good stuff. It can be a bit laborious, but Pix Resizer does allow you to do multiple pics in one go, once you learn to drive it properly. Not hugely instinctive.
 
Job done, easy!
 
Good use of the generic multi LNB brackets.
 
Guess 4.8e might of been another arrangement as in one of my setups here on a 70cm.

Good going m8
 
Nice job; what diseqc switch arrangement are you using --- an 8x1 or cascaded switches?

Two four ways leading into a A,B switch, this was just to get it working for the mo, 10 way switch is on order:).
 
Many thanks and good luck; I'd been having problems with cascading - this uncommitted switch business - and had to settle for an 8x1.

I see you have the Raven Gemini 90 is it a solid dish face one, I know you can get the 70cm in either perforated or solid?
 
Yes, it is the solid dish -- very good dish and especially so for multi-LNB setup; I do 1w to 29e (excluding 10e, 23e & 26e) on it which is a span of nearly 30 degrees odd --- not bad eh!

Awesome, I would love to see what the 90cm Raven would look like in it's perforated (Mesh to the everyday none C-Band remembering punter) form, it would look like a $ky dishe's obese American cousin!:p

I was just sitting today after work flicking between a European rugby match that was FTA on France 2 on 5W & the snooker on 28E thinking to myself, wow 33 Degree's in one second, that's even if it is that as the channel change on the Technomate is very fast anyway. I reckon with the 90cm version of this same dish I could go all the way out to 42E.
