A Viable Alternative To A Motorised System ?

What do you think of this setup ....

my dream house

Ulsterman 1690

My own place is not quite as bad as that

I have three dishes One for 13/19 East one for 42 East and a smaller one for 28 east

L1011

You speak Turkish or is there something else on 42E (feeds?) that I don't know about?

Myself I only speak English but I live in a multilingual household ! (Makes for cheaper rent !)

Hence my interest in satellite TV without actually watching much TV

Theres a small amount of English programming on Turksat but its all either Godbotherers or ads for holidays/property

Having said that It can be quite interesting watching some the English language programming from various countries on Hotbird.

I've been thinking about motors

This is my worst nightmare
That no. of dishes could imbalance the planet !
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :eek:

Apparently there are dishes that will get 13-42 East on one dish but theyre hard to find and fiddly to setup

L1011

Should get slightly more than that arc, actually. Torodial/Cassegrain/Gregorian dishes - all the same thing effectively. Uses a secondary reflector and a wider "focus" on the dish in the first place.

Maybe he hasn't heard yet about motorised systems.

Motorised dishes can be noisy + theres a delay when swiching between channels on different satellites

Unless you want a very large number of satellites multi LNB is a far better setup
