I thought sat stuff was cheap in the UK. In norway these LNBs cost about £80 !!!! no joke. Check out the prices here... _http://www.parabolsenteret.no/ .....pure robbery. A 'F Universal ESF-88' costs £170! whereas they cost £45 on ebay shops.

Thanks very much johnsattuk, that trick with the battery works a treat. I have now removed the poleriser and am trying to tune in with the existing LNB while I wait for my new one to arrive. I have found out my Latitude, longditude, Azimuth, Elevation and polerisation to astra 2d, but am not...

"Sun outage" is when the satellite is directly infront of the sun For example this will happen in Oslo the 14 October with the 2D satellite. As well as losing your 2D signal for a few minutes, there is a very useful side- effect: any shadows caused by branches on your dish at this time...

Thanks for the tip. It seems not many companies stock this LNB. I eventually found a source on the internet from a company in the uk that could ship at a reasonable price. Some companies wanted £55 for shipping the LNB!

Thanks for the help guys Yes i wondered if the poleriser could be causing problems as i have no way to adjust it electronically. Can i adjust it manually? Crossbones advised me to be replace the poleriser and LNB with a inverto C120. Does that mean i wont need a poleriser? I will just be using...

@Snuffer Inverto are in stock from where?

I have been looking for an Inverto White tech C120 Lnb in Norway for my 90 cm Fibo dish. It seems they aren't that easy to find. While searching i found this LNB for sale not sure who makes it. Has anyone used or seen this LNB before? Lnbu Universal m/C-120 flens (Fibo-fokal etc.) "Finally a...

I have now set the angle of the dish to zero deg and have faced the dish towards Astra 2d. I am tried to get sky and channel 4. The latitute was already set to 60 deg which is correct for Oslo. When i try to tune to my sky digibox i get transportstream 096a instead of 074d. I have an Irish...

I should be able to at least pick up a signal though with the LNB set up i have shouldnt I? Is it just the skew that i wrong then? I will adjust the motor and retest.

I have bought a secondhand 90cm Fibo-støp dish as shown in the attached pictures. I have now set it up to test. I have not connected the wires from the motor to the receiver as it doesnt have the capability to steer it (Grundig digibox GDS3000). The motor is positioned so it is at 50 deg west so...

I have now got a copy of the paper with the pictures uploaded. Unfortunately the quality isn't great. http://www.telenor.com/telektronikk/volumes/pdf/4.1992/Page_085-088.pdf It would be great to get some more pictures especially from the side. It is clear that this is the same dish as i have...

This dish came from Telenor. These dishes were developed by Norweigian Telecom Research (NTR). I believe this dish was part of some research and development work. The following paper describes the work. http://www.telenor.com/telektronikk/volumes/pdf/4.1992/Side_85_88.pdf Unfortunately the...

I cant PM it hasnt been activated yet as I am a new member.

Thanks for the replies. I have found out that it is a Fibo 1,8m gregorian offset antenna off a transportable earth station. Unfortunately without the sub-reflector and the fact that fibo-støp no longer exists means it will be almost impossible to get working. :-Nooo

I have just received ownership of a secondhand 2,4m offset fiberglass dish. It is 187cm in width, the height from the top of the base is 219 cm, the total height is 243 cm. It hasn't got any mountings or supporting arm for the LNB. I can't find any brand name or part number on it. However I...
