45e to 45w, tho its not 100% allained at the mo due to stripping it appart ( see below ) and re intalling it on the quick!

have had the dish 7/8 years now! originally with a manhattan 2500 apci, and now a manhattan starlight 6800 did have an x-cam at one point but that broke about 2 years ago, just happy with fta and feed searching at the mo.

dish axle did seieze about 2 months ago, stripped it down and cleaned up with some fine emery paper, no problems since, all self installed

the old 60cm below is pointing at 28e just for some free view, because i had it going spare!

Amen to all that - Gregorian dishes look so smart! Nice install

Does the window behind open fully now though?

You can't really get a more sturdier option than a set of T&K brackets, so don't think they would fall into a "cheap and nasty" category.
