Probably, it hasn't got a cistern...

@Analoguesat, I love the wicker windbreak behind the dish farm... Also thanks for the visual tip with the car tyres for temp positioning of dishes, I used to use a wheelbarrow, but I can see an advantage of the tyre

That "temporary" mount has been in use for 5 years!
Ive never tried a wheelbarrow mount....
The brushwood is becuse next door cut the overgrown roses down that were along the fence. This made the garden quite exposed with the north wind whipping down the gardens and the dish kept getting blown over

Here is my 1.8 Precision dish on a 1224 with a Yuri C/Ku LNB from a guy off e-bay in Austrailia. I wanted to get 40W C Band, Ku is offset by about 5 degrees but not really a problem. The whole thing works a treat with a Diseqc switch built ito the C Band LNB. I had to make some new arms for the dish to hold the scalar pate, ali tubing form B & Q did that.
Really pleased with it.

No..not really, mostly South American programming, but it's good if you like US golf that used to be on 12.5W ku.
