[QUOTE="MarsBar, post: 1094502, member: 409749"] I found a similar used dish for £20, so I am hoping to pick it up. The dish is made from aluminium, hence little corrosion problem. This type of gregorian antenna gives higher efficiency than an ordinary offset dish. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.satellite-calculations.com/Fibo/fibo.htm[/URL] The plastic bottle gives next to nothing signal loss, but the LNB and cable is in the path... I hope to pick up the new antenna in a week. Plan is to clamp an aluminium beam on the underside of the existing beam, then tapping and screwing the beam securely in place using several bolts. Afterwards I can cut the original beam thus making space to mount the LNB downwards, and it should be in exact location. I only have £20 for this project, and I have an old universal LNB. I might also not have to alter the beam if I use a LNB with a shorter house, the double output was somewhat longer so if using a single output I probably can mount it downwards! :-) [/QUOTE]
