Following on from my thread here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=71172302#post71172302
I thought that as my fiddling is now finished I'd post a few pic's of the finished article
I'm happy with the results and even 16'e is coming at over 50%SNR with minimal glitching and all other Sats apart from 9'e are well above 80%SNR now

Would it not be easier, cheaper and better to get a motorised dush surely.
Cheaper maybe if starting from scratch, but I went from a 13' and 19' setup on my dish.
As for better, definitely not for the spread of sats I use.
With this set up I have full pvr capabilities on all the sats i use with watch/record on 13' and 28.2' along with a 28.2 feed to a bedroom too.
It gives a degree of flexibility that isn't possible with a motor, ie watch one sat whilst recording another while someone else is watching sky in the bedroom......
Try that on a motor :P
I admit that a multi lnb setup is a compromise, but apart from 16e (and I'm getting 60% on that now after another day of tweaking)all the sats are pulling 80% plus snr and diseqc gives me instant channel changes.
It mightn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I did it mainly for the challenge and see what I could get
And I'm happy with the result....0 -

Wow banie great job with extending your setup...really impressed...amazed you got so much on there...love triax dishes great to work with....I'd hate to try and count all the channels you have now lol...
Thanks mate! Although considering the quality installation job that you did putting in the dish for me in the 1st place adding the rest was easy
Apart from 16e... I see now why you recommended a 1mtr plus dish if I wanted that one
I think an elevation tweak might get it stronger but to be honest, I have everything else set up lovely and even that bird is actually very clear.
But if I do try it and mess it up I know who I'll be calling
And as for channels, I'm upto 8432I'd hate to try and count all the channels you have now lol... Still nothing on though! haha 0 -

And there is my question....i apreciate this is a hobby for you, nothing wrong with that! i'm just curious, if i turn my roof or garden into a nasa control center lookalike by increasing my dish size or adding lnbs and more dishes etc...what exactly are you adding to the freesat list that is worth watching? are there more HD channels or more american/uk channels available when you add extra dishes liike this?
at the moment i have an edision argus vip2 combo on freesat and Saorview, connected to old sky dish,
what am i missing out on???0 -

Here is my setup -
110cm dish with multifeed - 0.8W(twin)-4.8E-9.0E(twin)-13E-19,2E 10x1diseqC
and 60cm sky minidish for 28.2E(quad) and 23.5E 4x1diseqC
Combined with DM800HD 500GB HDD for 0.8W;4.8E;9.0E;13E;19.2E;23.5E;28.2E in living room with Archos TV+ 250GB, upstair is Openbox S9 for 0.8W,9.0E,28.2E
Also planning to ad 16E to 110cm dish and trying to experience one more LNB for 19.2E to 60cm sky minidish (28.2E and 19.2 worked for me at Sky minidish)0 -

What kind of reception do you get on 0.8w and 23.5e ?moneysurfing wrote: »Here is my setup -

Interesting.I have 23.5 on a multifeed setup on a TD88 and pull UPC,Skylink and Canaal Digital , varies from @55%SNR on the weak TPs to 95%+ on the stronger ones.
My Diseqc Motor has given up the ghost on me so my Gibertini 1m is out of action.
I've grown tired of realigning the arc and I'd also like faster switching times between satellites.
I'm currently considering my options
a)New motor
b)Multifeed adapter for 13e,16e,19e,23.5e and 28e (I have a 60cm dish fixed at 28e)
c)Toroidal T90 for 1w to 39e
There are Pros and Cons for all 3 options ,I cant make my mind up.:(0 -

We're in the middle of an extension so I've decided to move some of the dishes to they're final resting place, I hope.
I along with a pal placed the newly powdered coated mounting mast on the side of the extension that looks south.
Hope to do more soon, I need to pick up some resin expansion bolts for fixing the lower end of the mast the top part is fixed with threaded bar going through the wall.:)0 -

Finally got more done.
I've got the Wavefrontier connected to the DB.
Need to connect other boxes soon, will get more coax on saturday.
More pics to follow.:)0 -

@Greenman: Would a storm not push that toroidal off kilter, since it's extended out on a bracket. Can't help but think it'd pivot... maybe you get no storms. Looks good anyway. Power coated mast looks the part.
Here was the first site of the T-90, it moved once as it was not tightened enough, I retigtened it and it never budged.:)
Excuse the building rubbish but here was the second site and it never budged from day one.:)
In short if it does budge it a 5 minute job to get back on sat.:)
Below is setup number one in the early 2000's:)
Then it was on to setup number two 2008.:)
Then on to setup number three.:)
So now its setup number four.:)
Watch this space.:D0 -

Hi!
I more or less finished this year's SAT-antenna's adjustments. Winter time is not so pleasant to touch havy metall.
That 180cm primefocus will be motorised, plan to get 30*W-90*E (maybe even 96*E). Have got C/Ku LNB and also V-Box for linear motor.0 -
@ Greenman and Rima
Bloody unbelievable work. As a very keen novice, I'm feckin amazed at the sheer amount of LNBs you folks have squeezed in and the quality of the finishing. Im in awe of you both
I suppose we all have to start somewhere ! Keep posting the pics - i'll steal plenty of your ideas over the coming mths/years

Well I thought I'd best update this thread on my current set as barring a new dish and 10/1 switches I've hit my limit on my TD88...
til summer arrives anyway
I was experimenting with an adjustable aluminium multi lnb setup that whilst allowing great adjustment and signal peaking....was a PITA in wind
Needed constant readjusting unlike my rock solid Triax multiblock.
So I've reverted to the multiblock and with some time
I now have 7lnbs set up on it receiving 4.8',9/10', 13', 16', 19.2', 23.5', and 28.2.
I was having an issue with 23.5 where i wasn't receiving Sat BG and a few other TPs but after modding an lnb holder to sit @4mm higher on the bar(extra height while keeping the slope for the rest) and swapping for a narrow lnb at that position I'm now receiving @394 services from that bird I'm even outperforming a mates 1mtr motor there at the mo
I will add some pics of the current setup later.
I just want to say thanks to all who proffered help and advice to me while I was getting to grips with my satellite addiction :P
And to let ye all know I hope I can return the favour sometime.
Thanks folks.
EDIT: I added the pics to follow up, and included pics of the (very simplistic) mod I made to get me peaked on 23.5e.0 -
