Sky mini dish Identification- help needed

[Joe Tisseo]

Hi guys, Just bought a quad lnb for this with the legacy adapter, thing is im still unsure if it will fit as i have a grudge this is a mk1 channel master dish.

Pics may or may not be of help but if you can ID this model of sky mini dish id be very grateful. If needed i will try and get closer pics of certain parts as these havent came out all that well.
It was installed roughly 2004-5 if that helps. THANKS joe

cant tell from those gloomy pics ;)

but it doesnt really matter anyway, as the dish is within the period where the modern lnb,s with legacy adapter will fit , one way or the other

I would think you just attach the legacy adapter and fit it in place of the one up there

ramjet is right the legacy adaptors will fit all the old dishes, the channel master MK1 dish have the logo etched on the back plate also they are only 35cm compared to the newer Raven which are 43cm

I did say the pics werent too clever! Thanks for the info though its much appreciated. Was searching for hours last night and couldnt find many pics of different dishes. :wavey:

Just thought id update this. The Mk4 sly LNB did fit with the legacy adapter, now all is working nicely so far running both boxes.

Signal intesity is 90%
Signal strength is 75%

Are the above good enough or can this be tweaked?

seems ok, but never say never

you may have to alter the skew on it, usually to say 2 or 3, or midpint, and a touch up or down or left or right of the dish may improve it, but seems as though its good enough already

if you do adjust anything, mark it up with a black marker in case you need to restore it back to its current setup, so on the pole , the dish and any other adjustment points

All i tried to do is replicate the old sharp LNB's setting with regards to skew etc.
Ill have a tinker on a nicer day and see how it goes. Thanks for your reply ramjet!
