New Gibertini 1.5 Dish

[RustySpoons]

Good boy, nobody 'needs' DAB.

I never got this DAB thing, lower quality audio, an outdated CODEC and selling overpriced Mono radios...
2 Steps backwards if you ask me.

Also had a scary moment when I broke the skeleton gun half way through, luckily I was able to go to b&q and get a replacement quickly as the r-kem had started to go off.

Also put the 1.25 on the nprm in the corner of the garden with some fixed lnb’s.

Also aligned my td88 clone for some more fixed lnb’s.

Great stuff that R-Kem Isn't it!

Some of the dab channels say the are in stereo a couple even claim to be 192.

I used an sdr dongle on the pc when I tested it out.

Yeah but it's still not a patch on FM, it's also MP2 lol, I use FM or Internet radio on the HiFi

FM or Satellite Radio for me.

I love the spirit levels. Good to see close-to-perfect. (which is required for good reception anyway...)

It’s a tripod mount from sss my nprm is in the corner with the 1.25 on it.

 

[Captain Jack]

They are good mounts. Shame about the price

To be fair, the BBC Stations (and some commercial ones) sound surprisingly good for 128kbps MP2 on DAB.

The coverage is the winner for it around here. I can listen to BBC national stations without a blip in the car, where the signal on FM is terrible - the only stations with a solid signal via FM are the local BBC H&W and Free Radio stations which I have no interest in...

The internet streams are very nice when you're listening at home though that is true!

Good idea. I maybe able to get another ip cam up to watch the dish.

I will have a think about it.

I agree with John, a camera looking at the changer is a god send..

Excellent ! Love the quality & looks.

Very nice shiny equipment
Just one thing , the arc of that Technisat revolver motor is max 150º , so one of the C- lnb clamps must move more to the center .
