On the right is the wife's setup. CM 1.2 with matching feedhorn for Nilesat, beside it Triax TD110 giving Arabsat. I've got an LNB attached to the Arabsat LNB giving Astra 28.2 in the summerhouse.

On the left is my setup CM 1.2 matching feedhorn 34.5 West to 50 East, the Wavefrontier gives 33 East to 15 West and self modded as per the lower pic.

The LNB holders on the Wavefrontier were not up my standard so I copied something I saw on another forum. All is connected and very satisfied.

I'll take a pic of inside another day.:)

Hope this was of interest.:)

Sweet mother of jesus I wish i had a wave! :mad:

MBSnr

Greenman - That's an awful lot of telly...

I have 4 inputs off a 28E dish and an input off a 88cm dish. This 88cm dish is concreted into a 10 litre Dulux paint bucket and is manually twisted around from 42E - 30W........... Very high tech Luckily I have great reference points in the distance so its very easy to hit the stronger sats on the 1st go. The weaker ones might need the dish tweaked a bit, but it works for me!

$ausage$

any pics?

MBSnr

Sorry no pics to hand... Imagine a 2 ft scaffolding pole stuck in a large Dulux weathershield plastic paint bucket with a dish bolted to it with wingnuts to allow easy adjustment of the vertical axis! On the back of the dish in permanent marker is a list of the LNB skew settings and vertical angle for each of the common sats!

Nehaxak

Used to do similar to MBSnr a few years ago only I used a wooden step ladder, dish sat on top of one corner of it and I moved it manually from 30W to 28.2E
Good times, especially when the wind blew but it was a lot of fun seeing what I could get in with a real dodgy setup.

Here's a pic of my old setup, which progressed from the step ladder to this motorised one - though as I moved house a year ago or so, I'm stuck with only what's barely allowed at the moment, which is just a sky dish


I moved it slightly (again) to get a full scan from 30West to about 40E or thereabouts. Had it all hooked up to a DM7000 then a DM800 later on.

Another one to throw in the mix, pic of a Cisco Emergency vehicle taken at their HQ in SF a couple years back, fantastic stuff though, Americans always think big, never do things in half measures...

Nehaxak

I should probably have re-sized those photos sorry :eek:

$ausage$

is that a wifi receiver under yoru dish in the first pic? I love looking at homers! makes it all seam worh while!

recyclebin

The dish on the left is a 1.1m Triax with a motor conected to a darkbox receiver for digitalb. The one on the right is a 80cm triax connected to a grundig freesat HD box. There is about 40m of cable between the dish and the recievers with some buried underground so I can drive over it to get to the back of the house.

$ausage$

dude where you based thats some mad angles for freesat!

recyclebin

It must just be the photo. I'm in Laois and it's the white dish that is pointed at 28E for freesat. The second photo is definitely just the angle of the camera. That pole is vertical and the black dish with the motor is pointed at 16E

SMOKE ALARM IN THE TOP .

Apogee

Any chance a Mod could sticky this thread?

We've had a number of threads in the past of people posting pics of their setups, but they eventually all get lost when they fall off the front page.

I have one of those laptop mat coolers with dual fans. Works wonders especially if you have a hard drive installed. Runs silent too. And if your into your bling you can always get the one with the neon lights .

Works out about €6 delivered on fleabay
