Computer is broke at the moment due to fried mobo or cpu. Will hopefully be doing a new i5 system build in the coming weeks as a priority. Last system was several years old a Barton 2500 XP system.

I have Standard Sky but unfortunately my Sony Sky

Hello. I have a bracket for my satellite dish to fix it to the wall but it is the wrong type of bracket. I have previously just used my dish on a tripod and also free standing but I need it to be fixed permanently in place for the moment as it keeps losing signal freestanding.

Photo one is of the fish in question:

I believe the bracket is meant to go through this type of dish sideways through the hole you see at the side of it.

This is a photo of the bracket that came with the dish that has never been used, but it unfortunately seems like the wrong type of bracket to me as it doesn't look like it will go sideways in the dish and allow it to face the right direction.

Photo two shows that this bracket looks like it would only turn around 360 degrees like the hand of a clock which is no good to me:

Photo three is a photo of the type of bracket I believe I need to get which is used for another dish I have:

Do you know what this type of bracket is called as I believe this is the one that I need. It will allow me to swing the dish out to face 28E, 19E and 13E etc. I plan to add a bracket to receive all these locations if possible with three separate LNB's which I already have. I am going to do a bit of trial and error to see if its possible with the dish I have which I believe is a 78cm one.

Thanks very much for your advice,

John

The bracket you show in picture two is that of a Sky zone 2 minidish and will work fine on the dish in the first picture, it just needs two small U bolts to clamp it onto the pole.

The dish in the third picture is an old design, no longer used by any manufacturers as far as I know.
 
Need to remove the nuts from the front face and insert the small bolts through and tighten up the nuts on the rear.
