Signal is very strong in Bulgaria either. A friend of mine told me that he gets French public channels with his 60cm Bulsat dish ;)
Btw I am happy to also get Amos satellites with single LNB and dish pointed at 5°W. At least I am also trying to learn Romanian either

Ok, my cheapo setup. Bought a zone 2 pack for £25 and working fine ;)

Nice install but always best not to drill or mount too close to the edge of any brickwork. Should be simply enough to move

 

[fergyc]

Yeah, really easy. I can just sit on the roof and move it

My system consists of five dishes. This is four of them...
First two antennas ( left one is fixed, other motorized )receive 42'E to 68'E;
Second pic shows 110cm motorized dish set on Hispasat 30'W, other one is multifeed of 4lnb's for main European satellites.
Third pic shows polarmount on 110cm dish with 32" SuperJack actuator able to spin from 40'E to 55'W.
System consists of 9 lnb's operated by two DiseqC swithces and 0/12V switch.

Welcome to the forum nighthawk77

You seem to have a very good selection of satellites available with your installation

 

[satelliteman]

Welcome nighthawk77.

Nice collection there

 

[Oldsberg]

Here are a couple of pictures of my fixed Triax 90cm dish for 4.8E and 0.8W;

4.8E - Titanium twin
0.8W - GT Sat twin

I don't remember the specific model on lnb's right now.

 

[Oldsberg]

Here is an Aerial 180 cm prime focus dish, made in Finland, which is dedicated for Astra2. There's a piece missing from the original feedhorn which is why it isnt in use for the moment.

Also submitting some pictures of the feedhorn and the lnb, Invacom SNF-031, I use.

I'm searching after a larger model from Aerial which is 240 cm, but I haven't managed to find one yet.

 

[Omeo]

Hi, its my new install.

top dish 0.85m - 39e*
left dish 1.2m -4w*-5e*-13e*
right dish 1.1m - 36e*

 

[satelliteman]

Nice set up

 

[fergyc]

I need to update my setup on here. Will put up a picture tomorrow.

Here's my motorised Zone 2 with duct tape LNB holder (for now)

 

[Lazarus]

It's even better than I ever imagined .................

 

[satelliteman]

Nice job. Only a few things I can see might be an issue; the bracketry doesn't look meaty enough and the LNb is not matched to a zone2 dish [can be achieved by modding the casing of the correct LNb].

Always fun motorising a minidish though

The pole holds it fine, which I'm glad as it means I don't spend any more money and I've had a large increase in signal on that LNB so I just need to find a bracket that supports an MK4 dish seeing as the ones out there only support the old MK3 dishes. Can you explain what you mean by modding the casting of the correct LNB please?

My new 80cm motorised set up

Very nice. Though it's usual to have the K bracket at the bottom - was there a reason why you had them the way they are?

It's at the top?

I think your other Thread http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/...-systems/180401-black-ultra-sky-zone-2-a.html may be relevant here, where we touched on the differences between LNBs matched to Sky dishes and LNBs for true 40mm collar mounting.
