yes they were our two starter dishes. 1 is @ 19east and the other at 28.2. im sure ppl wont buy a motor straightt away ifd they have no idea on what is what. i think ive seen a pic of urs on this forum. the dish is located on top of a window on a ground floor extension i think.

[utdman]

Nope. Just a fortec star one

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Upload pics of your setup so members can have a look!!

[westkill]

its a 1.1m triax dish with twin lnb
heres some pics a bit crued but it does the job i would not have done it without a balcony lol , as i live on the 5th floor lol
the bracket made out of scaffolding

the upright pole on the inside goes from the floor of the balcony to the underneath of the balcony above on a ajustable base

dont laugh at the wires i havent finished as i have 3 dishes up at the moment till i get sorted , but i drilled through the window frame just enough to put the cable through :thefinger:
it wont be like that for ever i hope :roflmao:
seeing its a council flat i live in they havnt complained yet
if they do i will have to try and get on the roof and rig it up :aetsch:

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Thats sad then. You must have spent alot on that and if they make you take it down then i dont think youll be very happy.
Whereabouts do you live? If your any more north than manchester then your have no chance of showtime with a 1.1

[westkill]

i live about 40 miles west of london :)

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

My uncle lives in london and he has a 80cm technomate dish and on the clearest of nights he picks up show comedy and shasha and a few more so if you fine tune your dish and make sure your lnb skew is perfect then you should get something. Try at 11 at night on a day which the rain hasnt fell. Look at the strongest tp guide which a stickyd in the gen sat section and search that transponder.

[shady77]

my setup.
yeah, set the squarial up to pick up transmissons from the marco polo, its ace, i get the movie channel, now, the sports channel, galaxy and power station. jealous?

the other one is at jodrell bank although they said my softcam wouldnt work, and had me arrested when i tried to hook some coax up to it

[halau]

I found this building out in Thailand earlier on this year,i went back to house just to get camera........Planing permission dont seem to be an issue

I have some more somewhere will hunt them down and post later

[chapdis]

[xant14]

I like these 'spot the five differences' competitions.

[terriers]

looks like that tree got the better of you sadiq?

[Curious123]

This was my setup early last year. the pole was piched from the kids trampoline, the white base was part of the large outside umbrella stand, the plant pot was nicked from the wife and the bricks were picked from next doors wall. lol

[westkill]

This was my setup early last year.lol
what about this year lol

[Curious123]

The scaffolding pole was 21 feet but I had to chop it down to get into my car but this is my setup now.

[westkill]

[piptaps]

Here is mine. It picks up 53e to 15w. The brackets cut down to 6" do actually allow it to swing to 30w, but the house roof blocks the line of sight on this one!

i think the pole should be longer above the garage roof ridge line

[terriers]

Nice triangle m8..lol..

[ITS A SCAM !]

Here is some piccys of my dish, its a 85cm motorised. I was not 100% happy with the stability of the T & K bracket in Very High winds ( its gets very windy where i live ) So i added additional stability by using some cetenary wire and 2 Turnbuckles to help stop it from moving....I also used some "Galvafroid" spray paint to protect bare metal from corrosion, and not forgetting a drip loop in the coax and "Tie Wraps" instead of tape to keep the coax in place. I managed to fit this using a "cherry picker"....the whole idea of using a ladder does not impress me at all. :stickyman:

[piptaps]

now this is impressive stuff, nice clean set up

[aftermath]

ITS A SCAM that looks like you done a very good and tidy job, bet it took ages to get right .

[ITS A SCAM !]

I am a electrical engineer, and working at heights with a cherry picker is something i do every day. Actually doing the job did not take that long, getting the bits together took a lot longer. I did all my research first, then decided the best way to install it. With it being at the front of our house it was important that it looked neat, and with everyone in our street knowing what job i do for a living, it had to look good, otherwise my neighbours would of taken the p**s out of me. But thanks for the thumbs up...

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Whats that string thing? we need something like that.. what material is it made from? how long are the hooks used?

[ITS A SCAM !]

Its called cetenary wire, its made from galvanised steel and it can be purchased from B & Q for a couple of quid. I also used " Turnbuckles" or " Tensioners " These are used to create a very tight connection between the wire and the Rawplug/eyelet, so it will not move when high winds blow. I got the idea from some Ministry Of Defence Transmitters near to Alton Towers.
P.s The turnbuckles are available in many lengths, i got some 4" (100mm) ones for my job. These are also galvanised, although there are some stainless steel ones available. These are for use on marine equipment due to high anti-corrosion values.

[SatSearching]

Here is my other dish when I am away in the Caravan. I'm thinking about getting a Disque motor for it but think the wife would go mad.

Here's mine, currently pointing at 28.2e so has a bit of a skew at the moment.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c49/beerman2005/ABCD0020.jpg

I got the dish and lnb for free so only had to pay out for the motor and bracket. People advised me against the bracket and said get T&Ks but I'm one to prove people wrong :D

Put it up with the help of my mates cherry picker, I wouldn't have liked to do it with a ladder, all that lot weighed quite a bit

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

@dowlinr
1west must me straight to you house, your lucky, do you receive anything past 30w?

Very nice. I would of been a bit cautious using that type of bracket. How have you fastened it to the wall ?? And with your wall being rendered, you cannot be sure of getting a good fixing into a solid brick ?? Have you suffered any really high winds yet ??

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Our house has since been rendered, atleast we know we hit the bricks before hand. wouldnt like to wake up to my dish on the floor with a BIG dent.

[dowlinr]

It's bolted through the brick with some big bolts. Been up for about a year now so must have had some high winds in that time.
I too wouldn't like to wake up with the dish on the floor, I park my car directly under there.

To be honest I have never checked anything past 30w. Any match I want to watch is usually on the major sats.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

how about i bump this one eh ?

[Satguy Keano]

OK I'll show you mine !

150cm Gibertini next to Channel Master 240cm.

Gibertini not in use at the mo. See how I am sprayed them brown so you can hardly noticed them.

Triax 64cm dish with 0.8w,7.0e,13.0e and 19.0e

7.0e only works if no rain.

Just to give you idea of size, the fence behind is a 5 foot panel sat on a 1 foot base.

[ITS A SCAM !]

See how I am sprayed them brown so you can hardly noticed them.

LOL......That dish is so big you need to spray the top half blue, to match to sky !!....lmao......That is one amazing set up you have there.....Well done to you !!

[satsid]

Nice setup that,240 dish must be pointed @ 7 west for footy lol.Muilt lnbs are great when windy,& will not lose signel like my wave dish.

[themanfromuncle]

See how I am sprayed them brown so you can hardly noticed them.

Triax 64cm dish with 0.8w,7.0e,13.0e and 19.0e



Wow, that dish is enormous !!

My I ask what kind of paint did you use ? And does it have any (negative) effect on reception at all ?

Also I didn't know it was possible to put 4 lnb's on a 64cm Triax dish. But obviously it is.

[Satguy Keano]

LOL......That dish is so big you need to spray the top half blue, to match to sky !!....lmao......That is one amazing set up you have there.....Well done to you !!

You know I did start to spray the top green to match the tress behind, if you look carefully you just about see abit of green.


Nice setup that,240 dish must be pointed @ 7 west for footy lol.Muilt lnbs are great when windy,& will not lose signel like my wave dish.

It was for showsports but they have lost the rights now and I can't do much with it now. Can't get 26.0e because of the fence at the side.



Wow, that dish is enormous !!

My I ask what kind of paint did you use ? And does it have any (negative) effect on reception at all ? No loss of reception at all m8. I had the dish when it was white and there is no difference. Just use non metallic spray paint.
I've still got the tin at the side of the house, I'll have look later at the make.

Also I didn't know it was possible to put 4 lnb's on a 64cm Triax dish. But obviously it is.

Yes got the multi lnb arm from ebay, Had to use the special LNB's because they are close.
I want to get a 90cm triax now with 4 lnb's and have that working with the 64cm triax.
I do have a dish on a motor but you can't beat going from 0.8west to 28.2e is split second.

Thats right ! I had real diffculty spotting them there so camouflaged lol , I had to use Google earth to see them properly lol.

m8 you might laugh but if you use google earth and put in my post code you can see the 240cm dish !

The wife still goes mad at me and its been 3 years now.

[ITS A SCAM !]

Well you must get rid of it !! Pack her bags and order her a taxi !! lmao

[satsid]

240 dish might be worth moving to 4 west,thats not much of a move.Dont know what your pick up but could be fun.
