  • Here is my current setup, I am just a beginner and starting to enjoy putting up a dish and bringing it down to re-do it all over again lol





    My next project


    Install fixed (dedicated to 28.2e) mini dish and if possible attach more lnbs to get other sats.

    LOL, it looks big mate but it is only 1.1m and it is at the back of the house so it is concealed.

  • If i had a motorised dish now it would have to go on the front of the house she should think herself lucky that i dont have my gibertinti 1.25 and channel master 1.8 anymore

  • done a good job matey


    The funny is, I actually paid some (expert installer) guy to install it for me and all he got for me were 4 sats or so BUT after a lot of reading, trial and error I managed to re-do the whole thing and do better job than him. I am now getting 30e to 30w.

  • not a bad job at all ..nice ..one ..hate them h to h motors get play on them all the time ..slightest bit wind = pixelation



    i also put my t and ks that way .. but on bigger dishs i go k kk ..well done

  • T&K round the wrong way, but other than that, good job.


    Mate, there was not a definite answer on all the tutorials instruction I have read (even the video of setting up mot dish had the K at the top) some people said the K at the top while others said the T at the top, at the end I had to put one of the 2 at the top.

    As you say no definitive answer some put the T at the top but most that i have seen put the K there gives that bit extra as vibration travels down the pole so 3 bolts instead of 2 makes it that bit sturdier, At the end of the day most would do a K&K if they sold them like that but they dont


  • At the mo I have got the below settings till I get a dual turner receiver.


    28E:
    LNB 1
    DiSEqC mode: 1.0
    Committed DiSEqC command: AA


    All other satellites:
    LNB 2
    DiSEqC mode: 1.2
    Committed DiSEqC command: AB
    Use usals for this sat: yes
