New dish setup

[prhotosho]

With the priorty switch you can control the dish with both receivers but not at the same time.

If I go with motorised dish then I will get the priority switch and ask you how to use / operate it.

With one person in house can still use boxes on other sats, but think outside the box as i like to record so needing more lnb feeds.

Having multiple feeds gives you more choice.

Multiple dishes giving more choice.

If one can go for multiple lnbs as 1 is boring as i like recording.

Motorised can be stuck on 1 sat and you want record on another lol

Heart says motorised and brain says the right choice is multi lnb. I am the only person who is going to operate both the boxes so .......

I am certain wife will create a lot of fuss. She still doesn’t know I am thinking of getting another dish installed. Getting two systems means I will have to start living in shed.

Is the dish diameter from edge to edge, or is it measured along the curvature of the dish?

What bracket would you recommend for a 97cm or 80cm dish with a motor on a south facing wall?

Thanks

If you are installing yourself T.k set with the
K to the top More chance of getting the pole within 0.1 degree of 90° If you don't you will not
Track the ark Correctly from east to west

T.k set k to the top to to the bottom

T.k set k to the top to to the bottom

Thanks, if I use two Ks, i guess that’ll make it easier?

 

[linesman66]

Yes try to get the t.k set that has slots
Rather than the pre drilled holes
Try to purchase a digital lever more Accurate

I've seen this one

Loops 12" T & K Galvanized Wall Mounting Bracket - Heavy Duty: Amazon.co.uk: TV

I guess 12" should be enough for 97cm?

they wont be large enough for 97 cm if it is motorised, iv'e not got TK brackets but the L shaped one that came with my 97cm dish pack is 18" like This One but supplied by WOS remember the dish has got to swing left and right I don't know how much of an arc full swing could be but I would say bracket at least halve diameter in lenth of dish.

The local Derek trotter says he might be able to get me a good deal on the motor. At the moment I have no idea on price or spec etc.

At the moment I only have a zgemma h9s, no dish or lnb. Can I connect the motor only to the box to see if it works?
