is this a good motorised dish deal

[nsw9154]

i am wanting to get a motorised dish for my Blade after i have got the wife a free sat set up, seen this today on fleebay and was wondering if it is a good deal i wanted a Dark Motor but have not got a clue what dish or L&B to get is this OK for ?99

1X ALSAT 100cm DISH
1X GREEN GOLD 0.1DB LNB
and of corse DARK MOTOR with
1X HEAVY DUTY WALL MOUNT and fittings

i can get it fitted by a local sat man for ?85 from South Seilds (North East England)

what do you Experts think
thanks in advance

Dont sound bad not heard of green gold i would personaaly spend a bit more on the dish and lnb.The dark motor is about 50 so the rest is 49.I would go for a Gibertini dish and a invetro black ultra lnb you wont be disappointed remember you only get what you pay for and sometimes you buy cheap you buy twice...........

And ya wall mount again i would go for T K brackets and 3 foot of scaffold pole...............

[ramjet]

buy an inverto ultrablack lnb and use that instead of the other one, only about ?10 on e bay

otherwise I suggest you follow the help above, especially about using T-K brackets and scaffold pole

[nsw9154]

Thank you for your replies i will search around and see if i can get them all from 1 suplier
i think the Gibertini Dish might be a bit expensive are their any good alternetives as i understand if you buy cheep you buy twice and i want a system that will last for years

[ramjet]

best alternative to a gilbertini is the triax td88 or td110

I suggest you buy the darkmotor superior or supreme

and the inverto ultrablack lnb

then get the T-K brackets and a metre of scaffold pole as already mentioned

anything else is really a compromise for a motorised system

[Manic01]

Your saying caught on @Ramjet
Buy cheap buy twice
Very true.

after a lot of thought and some very good info from some good people on this site - i have decided to get & ordered

1 -GIBERTINI -OP85L DISH ?75 free postage

1 -DARK MOTOR SUPRIME ?49 postage included

1 - INVERTO BLACK ULTRA LNB ?12 free postage

total cost - ?136 and i am satisfied that i have got the best
I decided against the TRIAX TD88 ?45 and went for the Gibertini for the extra ?30 i have not ordered any T.K Brackets yet because i do not know what size i need their are loads to chose from and i do not know what to order and will wait for some good advice from the great people on here -- it will be set up on a wall south facing bettween to second floor windows

PM the link to the the page on fleabay it might be the same one I got off there lifts it is the lnb is good but the dish is rubbish

with a 1 metre dish you will need 24 inch t%k brackets to make sure the dish clears the wall

[ramjet]

as above , but some info too

the point about T-K brackets is you need to ensure that the dish clears the wall so you make sure the brackets are larger than the dish radius + allowing for the motor too

if you call a 1 metre dish 39 inches , and round up to 40 inches , you get half of that as brackets = 20 inches

but you then may need to account for them not giving enough clearance and so 22 inch or 24 inch would be better, and the bigger the standoff the safer it is

this is why 24 inch brackets were advised above, although 22 inch brackets should suffice

the motor and lnb are good value there, dont know that dish but gilbertini have a good reputation

I have been trying to find this out in a long while so if you have a dish of 110 meters would a 24 inch bracket work with enough clarence, as i dont want to put my dish up and find that it is not.

the explanation I gave is self-explanatory

[digicon]

18" T&K's with a TD110 will still give you clearence of around 58? east to 58? west, As for the Dish i have started using orbitals the difference between the Orbital 1m and a TD110 in signal is around 2-3db literally nothing but the price difference is around ?30

24 inch TKs are no good for for your dish as its 110 meters biggest fcuking dish i have ever heard of ..............

But if you mean 110 cm then its fine.........................

this is an 85cm Gibertini on 12" T&Ks with a 24" scaffold pole on a wall just west of south facing if you think the 12" are cutting it a bit fine use 18" T&Ks but you wont need bigger for an 85cm dish on a south facing wall.
PS you want to use the shortest T&Ks you can get away with to keep the dish as close to the wall(without hitting it) if you can I"d try the 12" 1st
