Spotted this on eBay so thought i would share it,not bidding on it myself cos the missus would kill me and i think 4 squarials is enough for now. eBay Item # 160766293613 Also a BSB dish on there been watching this for over two months, they declined my offer of five quid plus postage ! eBay...

Nice one sparkydude

Great pictures sparkydude that system is quite a collectors piece. Anychance you could upload some scans of the installation manual for the Squarial ?

Thought this was some kind of rain shield for the LNB !

Might have to give that a try when i get chance

Do you think that 13 east would also be possible with an extra LNB ? Looks a neat setup up and I may do a similar setup.

couple more ive found this time around Chester area

One from my travels found in Winsford Cheshire this is one of the side streets off the main through road. There is a couple of other ones ive yet to picture in the area, one bein on the back of the old Rumbelows store in the shopping centre.

I've always used a 10mmx400 ( or longer ) drill bit saves the cable sheathing on the edges of the hole, can be a b****** getting a coax through a cavity wall though, that's where a thin metal rod taped to the end of cable helps a lot. Remember to seal the hole with silicone on the outside as well.

It's the same dish that my mum had installed by sky in November 1999 with a Panasonic TU-DSB30 Digibox, so I would guess its an Mk1 dish as back then it was either this type or the other with the black covered Cambridge LNB. MIght be better just to replace the dish as well there quite cheap on...

For drilling hard masonary you really need an SDS+ hammer drill i use one all the time as an Electrician and would never go back to the old hammer action drill.
