    My dual dish system setup w/ electronics

    Just joined this forum so thought I'd post some pictures here. I live up the coast 20 miles northeast of Stockholm, Sweden; fortunately my house is on the top of a ridge so I have an excellent unobstructed view of the horizon. I use a Toroidal 90 with four Maximum quad LNBs for the Thor...

    Greetings, New to this forum, apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but here goes: I've just installed a 90cm toroidal dish (Maximum/Wavefrontier knockoff) with four 0.2dB quad LNBs (also Maximum). I have configured the four LNBs for Thor 0.8W, Sirius 4.8E, Astra 19.2E, and Astra...
