Sorry for late reply, the modded LNB is still not on the dish yet, as my dish is at roof level I have to wait for my friend who is an installer to do it and at the moment he's on a 3 week cruise ! Also my RX is now the Octagon SF4008, a new STB to market with not yet mature drivers which...

It's quiet in here :) Well here it is, my c120 Inverto KaKu LNB I had a rummage through my box of discarded/old/rubbish sat bits and pieces and came across an old polariser adapter ring from too many years ago that I care to remember :) It's perfect for the job in hand, now luckily my...

I would love to do lots of things with my dish but being at roof level it's difficult so I'm afraid it's always going to be a compromise for me. I have an Octagon SF4008 on order which going by other owners reports has very sensitive tuners, should have that hopefully in the next 10 days or so...

I take your point st1 but there is a approx 7.5cm difference between the LNB feedhorn and the CM feedhorn focal points. Surely that has got to make a difference.

Hi all, As my dish is the roof I can do very little in the way of adding more LNBs etc so following on from my first experience on Saturday and although it was great seeing ka for the first time I was also disappointed I couldn't tune channels from 16e or any other sat so, today I did some...

I'm afraid now that dish is on the roof mods like those are out of the question unfortunately, gone are the days when I can work on the dish myself. That's why I'm looking for the Holy Grail Ka band LNB so I can fit and forget, you know the one with all bands covered, linear, circular, can...

Fascinating stuff, I love it :)

Could you explain "BBC" and "the BBC is a l.o" ta

Thanks both, any links to the new ones, I could be tempted even at 500 quid :eek: I've been out in the rain for you guys to take a couple of poor quality pics btw the pole for the CM is 3" gas pipe

G'day folks It's raining here so I guess it's no point in looking for any KA today. Is the Avanti stuff on 31e still there as I looked last night and not a sniff. Is it these channels with circular polarisation ? FlySat Hylas 2 @ 31° East I've seen mentioned on the forum all band KA LNBs...

I did when I first moved into this house about 20 years ago, I had a 2.4m 4 segment mesh dish mounted at ground level but then there were no trees, can't remember much about it tbh but i'm pretty sure it was the analogue days and the dish was a nightmare to align. What's it like these days, are...

WoW, that's some KA band LNB collection, thanks for posting could be very useful if it can be incorporated into E2.

Actually I find UK suppliers to be quite poor for the non-standard sat stuff so I get most of it from Germany, always quick to deliver and never any hassle. The Cahors dish I got from Belgium as it was about 70 quid cheaper that the only retailer in the UK who stocked it.

I do all the loft work so I can take the credit for that :D

Yes, that's the one :)
