I have been given an offset dish without the arms and lnb holder.How can i establish the correct position of the lnb?

Satellite Superstore is adverising prime focus dishes on a polar mount.I have written to them wanting to know, should i mount an off set dish on a polar mount what adjustments must i make (declination angle)to the polar mount to accommodate an off set dish.I received no response.Can members assist.

I have a 2.4M C band dish .Should i decide to cover it with fibre glass mat using resin and hardening will i be able to receive KU band singles.

Yes ,Huevos you are correct.I have a teflon plate in my LNB to receive circular transmissions and if i remove the plate signal strengh does increase.East 78.5 satellite is linear polarised left and right,although my satellite receiver shows vertical and horizontal.

My dish size is 2.4M.I receive several satellites from 78.5 East to 27.5 West.As an example on 78.5 East, i receive 11 tansponders in Horizontal and 7 of them in vertical as well.

Yes you are right about L and R.My receiver shows V and H. Being motorised i receive all available satellites.I have got a dual C Band LNB but i dont think that should make any difference.Possibly faulty LNB?

I have a C band dish in South Africa and have set my skew (0) to my Apex satellite.However,i am receiving on some frequencies both a horizontal and vertical signal.Please advise the reason for this as the channels are duplicated. Note, it is a motorised dish.

It is a Spaun SMR 410 F

The above relay is fed by 4 dishes (4 sockets) to one satellite receiver.How can i feed it to two satellite receivers. I understand the switch i have is a diseqc multiswitch.What is the difference between a multiswich and a diseqc multiswitch.When do you use a multiswitch on its own.

I posted an item under Actuator problem and received two responses.This has now disappeared.

Get a welder to cut and weld the required parts.

You should only use an actuator,preferably 24 inch.Even 1M is dicey with a sat motor.Long term go for an actuator as well.

Can someone post a photo of a Gibertini polar mount.

Get a local welder to knock up a polar mount for you.

I had about six actuators in bids and pieces and decided to check them out.These actuators i got from my son who is an installer in another country.No doubt the reed switches were shot already when i got them.In any case i purchased two reed switches from a Security (alarm system)...
