    Nice dish! Do you plan to make multifeed on it? Did you check whether LNB located exactly in focus, or you 100% believe to manufacturer?
    To even more improve performance of your dish (up to 10%) it is possible to attach subreflector, transforming dish to Gregorian (dual-reflector) type.


    Yes, mount could be better. :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the pics.


    Lovely dish. Luckily where I live the 1.2m CM seems to get all the wanted channels.


    Great to see the dish.


    Thanks again JD.

    I spent a few hours focusing the LNB and moving the arms until I got what I think is the best possible reception for where I'm situated, I would imagine the signal would be considerably better on this dish in the far SE of the country.

    No, I dont plan to multifeed it, getting a strong signal on Nilesat on it is the main thing for me and as I said in the last post I plan to install a motorised dish, I've always wanted one and actually bought the motor 3 years ago and still haven't got around to installing it yet!!

    Thanks for the tip about attaching a subreflector, I done a quick search for details about doing this, if there was something I could buy off the shelf for this I would try it out (If you know of one please let me know) but its likely I would have to make a reflector myself and seeing how long its taken me to install the motorised dish I cant see me bothering with it! :D

    How could you move arms around if they are fixed? Did you check wheather your LNB pointing to the right spot at the surface of antenna?

    Only way to get subreflector is to look for used Gregorian type antenna, you still can find those antennas on second-hand market.
