    Listen Up Batten down the hatches 2019/2020/2021

    Neighbour’s small sky dish (“professionally installed”) just blew off like a kite. The Wavefrontier beast is still there.

    Listen Up Batten down the hatches 2019/2020/2021

    I’m tracking the storm on Windy, and hopefully the worst is about to pass, though 40 mph winds are still no joke. I’ve seen my dish shake quite a bit but so far things look ok. Had a chat to family members in Scotland and the wind isn’t that bad right now, but there is considerable flooding in...

    Listen Up Batten down the hatches 2019/2020/2021

    The wave frontier T90 at home enduring the storm admirably (centered around 13E). When wind hits from the west is fine but when they pivot to SSW there is a bit of shaking. I reviewed all bolts yesterday, better safe than sorry. East Herts is getting a fair amount of battering, with gales...

    Sold Dvb-s2 cards

    Hey Everyone, After the last tech refresh I have a couple of DVB-S2 cards looking for a new home (most likely a Windows based one as drivers for Linux on these cards is a bit iffy). I've got a BlackGold BGT-3630. This one does support Blind Scan and I have tried it. Includes cables and both...

    40.5W SES6 & NSS806

    I've been meaning to get this bird for ages. What is the absolute minimum dish size to lock on it? (South of England, near Cambridge) I've seen EIRP numbers which would put it as low as 1M, but I know YMMV.

    Mounting a wavefrontier t90

    Mounting a T90 is tricky. I already got a run out with the wind. I'm using both an over the gutter mount and the pole support from a standard T90 mount and that seems to have made the trick. I got a galvanised steel pole I bought online. Feel free to PM me for details.

    My Wavefrontier T90 install (with pictures)

    Honestly I can't imagine how much smaller a traditional 1 metre dish is as opposed to this one. I'd say the main difference is the reflector in front of this one. And I'm going to be using a smaller dish for 30W.

    My Wavefrontier T90 install (with pictures)

    I've been very busy lurking looking at what other folks are doing and drooling over some real nice C-Band setups.... if only I didn't have neighbours.....

    My Wavefrontier T90 install (with pictures)

    Hey all, After two/three days work (being postponed for weeks as I just moved into a new house, and there were other priorities like not having my clothes on the floor), my brand new WaveFrontier T90 is up and ready. This was an interesting project, as the first time I saw this dish I absolutely...
