where to buy new dish and T&K brackets ASAP . more difficult that i thought!

[satelliteman]

At that price, why not get both and see which works best in the brickwork.

Also when fitting the K brackets, do you also fit the lower part of the bracket to the wall or do you just drill the top parts?

for example you have 4 fixing holes

Guys where can I buy a 1m gibertini dish delivered before Saturday?

I don't know of any reputable shops?

Also what is a decent cheap lnb that will fit a gibertini?

Anyone heard of the "best" lnb from Germany ?

Is this one of your sponsors?

I can certainly recommend the Gib 104cm, great performance and quality for a 1m dish.

Yes, I've got one here that I used to use on my 1m Gibertini, it's OK but not a patch on an Inverto Black Ultra when used on a Gibertini. No sign of BBC World News on 26E using the '0.1' Best, with the Inverto it's 85/90%, for other signals the Black Ultra is 10-15% better than the 'Best'.

Ok great, as I will be getting the gibertini 1m dish but want to make sure I get the right lnb

I have read about feed horns, anyone know if it is worth getting the gibertini c120 and suitable lnb, which I don.t know what is?

Thanks

Stick with the Black Ultra. I have tried a C120 + feedhorn on my 1.2M dish and the Black Ultra was clearly better. I think it's fair to say that a feedhorn is designed more for prime focus rather than offset dishes.

 

[techmob]

Thanks

I will indeed stick with it

Thanks

LNBf for the Gibertini 104cm. Feed -C120 for the 120cm /150cm.

 

[techmob]

what is the LNBf ?

 

[Lazarus]

Low Noise Blockdownconverter with integral Feedhorn (ie What most folk have - be it Sky type or 40mm collar mounting one)

 

[techmob]

cheers, looks like it is the black ultra then

 

[techmob]

i have ordered the 1m gibertini and the black ultra lnb. fun times ahead

 

[Lazarus]

For some strange reason, your burst of activity has spurred me on to finally start laying in cabling and plumbing for an Electric Shower!

Good progress, but stuck now until the Postie brings my push-fit elbows.

And after that's done, I might get a Black Ultra myself - been meaning to for ages but now the TD110 is back up, it may gain me summat.

 

[techmob]

i have fell out of the game for a while and it is good to get back into it.

my mind has been all about satellite lately, was a struggle to sleep without thinking about it.

i have 5 days off work... hopefully all my stuff will arrive in time

the dish and lnb are here tomorrow from one of the sponsors on the site

my K bracket from blake-uk (hope that arrives soon)
