post 32 Before I could do any more, Corviello arrived. We went through the string test again and the laser alignment. He though they were both fine. He then tried adjusting the LNB orientation with his own meter. Then he noticed a strange thing. When he climbed the ladder to move the LNB, the...

What about lowering the wall? probably easier than putting in a new pole.

A bigger diameter tube slid over the original? You would have to find the perfect fit though. Just a idea.

Yes, I too would like to know how this sale panned out.

Saw a used one go on German ebay for 110 quid 2 days ago.

These pics probably show why its bent,didn't realise at the time. I was more concerned about the actuator getting damaged. How would i straighten it? The depth of the dish, after measuring it again with a proper straight edge is 9 and a 1/2 inches, the distance from the centre of the dish to...

I think i found the problem, today i put some string across the dish face. when i did it last time i only put string from top to bottom and side to side, this time i put some at angles and found that one of the angled strings was approx 1/2 an inch from touching the others. It looks like i will...

Well, me and a pissed up wife have just measured the focal distance and it is just over 31 inches! could this be the probem? will measure again when sober, thanks for now.

Just measured the depth of the dish, its approx 9 and a 1/4 inches. I dont know if that is shallow, but i can understand what you are saying.

Yes, i tried moving the waveguide in and out but it didn't make any difference. Might just be a crap dish, don't know. There are no markings on it.

I thought the feedhorn strange too, i bought it from ebay, was hoping to use it with a C/KU band combined lnb. It isn't warped as i have tested with strings across the face. I don't know what woven means? It is a metal alloy spun dish (you can actually see the spin marks). I know that it is old...

I set this 1.8 mtr dish up with a MTI C120 KU band lnb. The result is not good. My 1.2 channel master with the same Vantage 221 receiver outperforms it! :eek: I am uploading some pics, so if anyone can see any ways to improve reception please feel free to post. Don't know what happened to the...

I disagree, what is killing football is the no contact culture. Where did the nonsense phrase "there was contact" come from? I am sick of watching games that are spoilt because a ref has booked a player twice for light fouls, surely the award of a free kick is the punishment.Many games are now...

Can anyone please tell me the difference between the digisat pro and the digisat pro accu, apart from the price of course. Thanks

I purchased a channel master feedhorn and a lnb from there, items arrived ok but had to pay import tax and a new delivery charge. I think it was still cheaper than buying in the UK though.
