Is this setup OK for 3pm footy

[NavSG]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this satellite malarky, but i have given Vermin the boot and i'm looking to buy a motorised satellite set up. Is this dish, motor and LNB a good set up:

Dish Motor LNB

Will have it hooked up to a DM800 Pro. Will it suffice for 3pm football ?

Or there any recommendations for LNB and motors ?

Lnb looks crap.
Get an inverto black ultra fro ?13 on amazon.

I would invest in some t and k brackets.
My mate had 1 metre set up with t and k brackets and good quality lnb for 170 quid all in fitted.

What is the advantage of having t&k brackets? My motorized dish was setup with pole only and when it is windy as we had 2 days ago in West yorkshire it was unwatchable so could it be the reason that these brackets were not used?

cheers

Biggest advantage is stability and you know for certain the pole is plumb and can be easily adjusted.
With the arm im guessing you might have to pack it out if the wall isnt straight and when ive had high winds and heavy rain my picture never breaks up.
It used to on my old sky dish,so im well happy with my set up.
Ive a friend who has the arm and his is set high up and he's had trouble when the wind was bad not so long ago and had to get a man out to realign the dish.
The only adjustment ive made on my dish since i got it was to skew the lnb.
Personally i dont think you need to spend a fortune to get the best set up.

Anyone know any suppliers of the Gibertini dishes, as the Triax TD110 look to go for about ?60, don't want to spend any more than that and don't want to go any larger than 1m as it will be mounted on my front elevation which faces south. Don't want ny nimbies complaining.

I have mtr dish been up ok for 5 years never used t&k but they are good

Would still want better brackets on a big dish especially if its perched up high somewhere.

Dishes are pretty cheap,you need a decent motor and lnb but you will need a meter if you're gonna do it yourself.

Some get alot of satisfaction doing themselves but when i had mine fitted it gave the fitter problems and he had high tech readers with him.

i also have that motor and had no problems at all

[NavSG]

Thanks for the all the help guys. With further research i think i'm gonna source my components separately. Here's the list i've compiled:

Dish: Triax TD88
Motor: Alsat Superior Dark Motor
LNB: Inverto Black Ultra Twin LNB
Receiver: Dreambox DM800 Pro

Will this lot be suitable for Premiership and La Liga footy (inc Saturday 3pm). I'm located in east London, so I should pick up a good few sats ?

[youngsime]

i have inverto black ultra have tryed many others but i found the inverto the best
it managed to pull in mbc on 26e which no others managed

[Manic01]

Good info mate.

[Manic01]

Easier to plumb and secured in 2 places, stopping any pivotal movement.
I have had a L shaped heavy duty bracket with no issues in 5 years on motorised system.
