Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

A few years ago I (in fact = we, more of us) tried to install my dish (visiosat - 4 lnb's) and that wasn't very successfully. We thought that this would be easy, as digital signal meant: signal or no signal. After some time, we gave up and let a pro do it. Indeed it took him I think 2 hours, but I was very impressed with the security he installed the dish (with his tools he really found the best signal). Until now it's still good (fingers crossed), it's about 4 meters high and I live in a very 'windy' area.

Off course, it's everyone's personal choice how to get things done.


Hmmmmm (while typing this one):
On the other hand, I must agree with toby: if you manage to do it yourself, it's even better (you'll learn something and can adjust it yourself when having problems, very true) ....

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

why not have a go your self, if it possible to mount atground level an you got portable tv, get some experence, if you get problems with strong winds no need to keep getting installers out to tweak dishes slightly for you, if you do yourself you learn. 130 minutes, thats a bit of a rush job to me.

You are right Toby. It sounds a bit of a rush job to me too. The trouble is that i dont have a garden and the only place the dish could be mounted is the south facing wall which is really high. My partner wouldnt let me go there ( Health and Safety Risk). Lets see how it goes, I will feedback you guys.

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

i wouldent bother micro, i have moved my system a few times but only at ground level, considering the weight of a motor and a 120cm dish it would be very risky.

see here, a thread i posted before xmas.

The satman was supposed to be coming over this afternoon but certainly it was too wet so it willl happen in the near future.

By looking at the prices of these LNB's. It makes it a lot expensive to have 4 LNB's and a multifeed arm. Whilest a decent quality motor on ebay costs about £35-£40. I am not an experrt and will always follow senior's advice but a motor will work well for my budget.

Hi microchick,
RE Quality motor for moving a 150 x 165 cms dish.
In case I wish to recieve available channels from 16* East and 36* East,
I wish to know how the elevation of these satellites can be coped with.
Each of them has a different elevation.

Can you suggest a brand of motor (metal gear) to stand tropical humidity, that is my problem, living 20.23* Below equator. Every five years we are visited by cyclones also.
Vertical pole holding the antenna is of 65 mm diameter,almost un- moved by strong wind.
Tested already.

Apologies for troubling your peace. With much interest will wait for your suggestion.
Thanks in advance.

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

Hi, We were actually talking about the H-H motors (Dark motor or any other make) here which can handle a dish size of upto 120cm. The dish size you have mentioned is far too big for the H-H motor and it wont be able to handle it. Your best choice would be an actuator. The desired angle you mentioned is 20 degrees (16e-36e) and an actuator would work the best for it. The members whith big dishes would be able to advise on that.
Guys! Any suggestions for kadnor??

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

I reckon you could. 15 degrees should be doable on a td 88 as all except 16e are pretty strong sats.

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

I've heard of some people doing 9e to 28e on a td 88.

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

Oh, just noticed you live in ireland. Reckon you might be better off using a td110.
Not sure though, i'll have a look later.

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

is it possible to get 28,19,13,16 on triax td88 with multi lnb holder

--------------------------------------------------
if you going multi, best use these lnbs, capable for satellites 2degrees apart.

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

I have seen posts on an irish forum of someone that received 13e-28e on a td88 but had signal problems on the end 2 sats.
The fix was to flip the feed bar which improved the reception loads.
Here is the link. Have a read.

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

This is my super cheap multi lnb setup. A zone 2 sly dish focused on 19.2e, a 40mm multi lnb bracket clamped to the middle quad lnb, another quad lnb for 13e and an octo lnb for 28.2e.

Sly dishes and lnbs are so cheap on ebay the whole lot new would probably cost £55 to £60.

yes thats very good,
but with motor would look even better my friend, only 1 lead

Re: multifeed 9+13+19+28.2

Those lnb's are really tightly packed. Good job.
But as Toby says, a motor will get you so much more.
