My Satellite Setup
90cm Dish. Dual Lemon LNB for 13E/19E. Twin Output Lemon LNB for 28.8E.
Samsung 9500 with 'alternative' firmware.
Couple of DigiBoxes. Amateur Radio station. Going Bald with a patient wife!
My Location
Stoke on Trent, UK.
...and it's working fine too thanks guys - just typical though - Radio amateur who buys a house on one of the highest hills in the city and gets amazing coverage on the amateur bands - only to discover the rear of the house is pretty much due East and hopeless for mounting satellite dishes - hence the dish almost at 90degs to the wall in the only spot I could see the sky above.

Not all bad though - once I chop a tree in the neighbours yard (absentee landlord who has given me permission but it's a 40ft sycamore!) - I can mount a fully motorised one that has a good view of the horizon - and luckily I've the 120cm one on it's way though I might see if I can swap it or at least use the mounts to put another 90cm one up. :p

Leigh...

Well im back again with some pics from my currently setup:

Now i have 2 dishes with 3 lnbs and 4 lnbs ...but always on upgrading....yes...i mean for now i have a East dish with 4 lnbs, pointed to Astra 19E, Astra 2A,2D Eurobird, a Hotbird 13 E and an Eutelsat 16E, being the main sat Astra 19E....

On West dish i have got a LNBs pointed to Intel 901 18 W, NSS 7 22 W, Telstar 15 W....

Always using duck tape and some steel.....hehehehehe....just those materials can make wonderful things for my setups.....

:):)

Well i broke my last setup cause i had a motor mounted on East that lost a bolt....i mean broke the bolt.....so i quit on motors....or maybe not...also had a motor with more than a lnb....

But well, i wasnt very satisfied with that motor, too much time to get a channel and no direct channel tuning....its a bit boring for me.....i like zapping.....

Ok, now for real, i have a West dish with 1,10 m and an East dish with 1,20 dish.....also another 1,10 m waiting to startup....:cool::cool::cool::cool:

Nice set up vk7ae, I love the big mesh dish`s.

On the 2.3m dish pic it says diseqc feed? Is the feed motorised? As I would have thought a dish that size would be too big for a diseqc motor?:)

.....until we wired it up ......

...and OK, they would never work like that without real surgery...

:)..but some did work...........33.2 degree split ...28.2e 13e 5w ...:)

....... on a UK Sky dish.... (zone 1 45cm mid UK)

That's what we got when we wired it up to a diseqc switch ..so you can work out what sat spacing is needed... and the surgery needed with a hacksaw & hot melt gun to get them closer.... but 40 degrees is possible on a Sky dish if 33.2 worked by accident ..... just having the time- and there's no shortage of disgarded Sky LNBs.:cool::cool::cool::)
