Not Another Dish!

[TJExcalibur]

My Fibo dish it mounted up high and works a treat. Maybe I will improve the alignment when I get my present on the 25th. eBay item number: 282549112495
I stream from my den to the TV so the Overseer can watch her French channels. But it means I can no longer while away the time playing in my den as the dish is mostly on 5w for Fransat. So I am thinking of adding an extra dish at a lower level for her as she only uses 5w, 19e and 28e. But it will look out of place and I may have new neighbours in the early new year so want to be amicable. I therefore thought a flat antenna with motor as they do on Systemsat would be suitable, if a bit expensive. Any views?

I’m not sure if you’d be on shaky ground because of planning regulations, but you could put a couple of minidishes up with a 4 way switch maybe?

To be as small as possible, a Zone 1 on 5°W and maybe a Zone 2 with two LNBs for 19.2°E/28.2°E?

I always think they’re a good idea for if you want a discrete install because of them being so ubiquitous on houses all over the place! People don’t give them a second look.

Don't forget that, if you can do it and still have line of sight to the sats, you could try discretely ground-mounting the Fibo (on a steerable mount?) whilst using Zone 1/2 dishes on the walls for the sats that the "Overseer" wants.
PS: or even vice-versa - ground-mount the Zone1/2 dishes and leave the Fibo where it is??

I like this, just wondering if they do a unicable lnb for it. Really neat. 33cm or 45cm.

Or maybe a Wave Frontier T-55?
Mine spans 5W to 19.2E, but 28.2 is strong where you are (a bit like the Force?), so you might get away with the 33 degree span.
I know that I am not using the full width of mine - so it might just work where you are...
