My multi LNB Set-up

[Ghostleader]

Here is my set-up:

What your seeing here, A 80cm perforated ISS dish with two Multi-LNB brackets joined together with 7e,13e,19e & 28e feeding a Octagon 4 0.2dB way diseqc switch feeding my Technomate 6800+ HD receiver and two additional feeds from the 28e quad going straight to my Amstrad $ky HD box.

Nice!

Can't see behind the dish, but I assume you've got, in effect anyway, drip loops to stop water tracking where it ought not?

Just in the process of up loading more photo's, the upload cap makes it a bit tricky, but I read the Sticky & I am resizing!

 

[Lazarus]

Good stuff. It can be a bit laborious, but Pix Resizer does allow you to do multiple pics in one go, once you learn to drive it properly. Not hugely instinctive.

 

[Ghostleader]

Job done, easy!

 

[satelliteman]

Nice install.

 

[hexah]

Good use of the generic multi LNB brackets.

Guess 4.8e might of been another arrangement as in one of my setups here on a 70cm.

Was thinking of adding 5w but I dont know if my line of sight is clear that far round.

 

[Ghostleader]

BAM!, Right in the kisser!, 1W & 5W added!!

 

[Lazarus]

Well done, Sir!

 

[mike1]

hot stuff all you need now is the right receiver for 1w

 

[satelliteman]

Nice result ;)

Good going m8

Nice job; what diseqc switch arrangement are you using --- an 8x1 or cascaded switches?

Two four ways leading into a A,B switch, this was just to get it working for the mo, 10 way switch is on order.

 

[bigtee]

Many thanks and good luck; I'd been having problems with cascading - this uncommitted switch business - and had to settle for an 8x1.

I see you have the Raven Gemini 90 is it a solid dish face one, I know you can get the 70cm in either perforated or solid?

 

[bigtee]

Yes, it is the solid dish -- very good dish and especially so for multi-LNB setup; I do 1w to 29e (excluding 10e, 23e & 26e) on it which is a span of nearly 30 degrees odd --- not bad eh!

Awesome, I would love to see what the 90cm Raven would look like in it's perforated (Mesh to the everyday none C-Band remembering punter) form, it would look like a $ky dishe's obese American cousin!

I was just sitting today after work flicking between a European rugby match that was FTA on France 2 on 5W & the snooker on 28E thinking to myself, wow 33 Degree's in one second, that's even if it is that as the channel change on the Technomate is very fast anyway. I reckon with the 90cm version of this same dish I could go all the way out to 42E.
