HI, I have just revived my 80cm Triax with JaegerHH motor, which has been outside for 23 years and been to 3 houses now, and still works, connected it to a new Edision Primo IPS2
Although i had to make a new LNB arm as it fell off a few years ago. The whole system being slung behind the shed for the past 3 years !
You can see the pictures for your amusement, the arm is made from a hoover attachment !!
I have received channels from 24 satellites between 53E to 22W which i consider a minor miracle considering the setup, all be it with v marginal signals away from the usual hotspots. I can even get some on 16E.... just, but not a sniff on 21.5E
However feeds seem practically non existent comparing from my years in the 90s/2000s, i was thinking of getting a 1M and possibly motorising it, is it worth it ? Am i going to get a lot of feeds located in Lancs with a 1M setup
Are there a top 3 satellites with most activity, i could maybe put a multi LNB feed if they are close together as an alternative ?
I do have other dishes for 28/19/13 already setup through a 4 way, so could add another dish etc
Any comments gratefully recd, Thanks
Andrew
