yeah move it,you want a clear as possible view of the southern sky.
also consider putting the motor on a piece of scaffold pole thats mounted on a pair of T&Ks.

you should get those 2 sats ok but I"d point the dish at 4.8E as prime and have 13E as secondary.or you could point the dish at 9E and have both the sats offset. have a play with it and see what the best settings are.If your after the nordic channels they are a bit on the weak side so 4.8E as prime may be best.
(ramjet beat me to it.)

dick, have only ever used a motor or single`lnb dishes,looking at your drawing the lnb is at the opposite side of the multi lnb holder to what i thought
can you explain how that works?
ollie2012uk i would move the dish above the roof line and would use 3 t&k brackets its amazing how strong it will be and it looks to be at the back of the house if i get a chance i will take a pic at the weekend of mine to show you

ps dick how do you upload a pic?

Hi there blueflash. Someone explained it to me that its like kicking a football at a wall, so whatever angle you kick the ball at it will come away from the wall at the exact opposite angle to what it was kicked at. so if you wanted say 19 east 28 east and 39east on one dish and 28 was the prime focus, then 39 east would be where 19 east would be and 19 east where 39 east would be. As its the beam bouning off the dish to the lnb at an angle. hope this helps. btw it might have been dick b who learn,t me this fact.

might have been my explanation

might have been my explanation

You know what when i saw your thanks i thought it might have been you, anyhow i look smart know thank dick or ramjet but not me.

Moved today. Re sat the mount with some washers as was a tad out on the level. Re did the motor on the dish and set to 0 went in and it literally picks up everything I point it at!!

Hi Blueflash234,

Looks a good solid install just an observation but why did you go with 1 K and 2 T's and what's happening with the 'U' bolts thats a pretty novel way of fastening them.

Looks good Though well done.

my main set up is a 1 metre orbital and a dark motor and a 58 cm orbital and just in the process of fitting a 60 cm gibby to 13 e and fit to a technisat skystar hd2 card so i can watch my jsc card when on the computer my other half thinks am crazy i dont thinks so it all makes sense to me i think, and i have a 90 cm fibo in the garage with original motor the good thing is you cant see them from the street

Nice setup mate, must have been a job putting those up!!

[blueflash234]

its not difficult just takes time your setup looks good as well good luck mate

I would seriosly consider getting the 90cm Fibo out of the garage and installed if setup correctly it could give you better performance than your 1m orbital, the 1.3m Fibo is a fantastic dish and still command top dollar on a certain auction site
