I still have my "Winter 2020" setup in my backyard going, and in all honesty I rarely watch much linear TV in the last few years. I do still see multi-satellite reception as a hobby/challenge to get stuck into, I was hoping 2021 would have been the year to finally get my gear fully set up but a mixture of physical and mental health problems that also included a long-ish stay in hospital (not COVID related) back in the late spring/early summer eventually put paid to many of these plans.
As it is, I have most of the physical equipment ready to install a few dish farm set up, but if it were just that then there wouldn't be too much to worry about, as the back garden (the location of previous and future setups) requires poles to be set in concrete & bolted to a wooden shed, underground ducting to be laid, new holes to be drilled into a paving slab to accommodate a new 60mm patio mount etc. not to mention indoor work laying new coax & cat6 network cable to rooms etc. trying to figure out the best way to route them with minimal disturbance.
If I can get the backyard dish farm complete, it will likely take the following form...
* Dish A1 - a new Wavefrontier T90 that's been sitting in the spare bedroom at present for over two years, intended to be centred on 16E to likely span 39E or 36E to 8W, some prior measurements needing to be taken with a standard offset dish to check 5W signal levels with Eutelsat 5WB now in place, if results are unsatisfactory then it might be better to centre the dish at 19E, taking the western limit to 3/4W instead and use the 3 degree eastern shift to help slightly with reception from 36E.
*Dish A2 - one of the current 80cm Emme Esse aluminium or 1.2m SAB perforated dishs for multi-lnb setup at the far eastern end of the arc here, likely to be focused on 46E (which should also pick up 45E on the same LNB at least on the 80cm dish). The big advantage of the 1.2m dish would be the bigger space between satellite positions for multi-lnb brackets, which would help slot in 42E and maybe also 39E, while at the other end an LNB at 52E should at least cover 51.5/52E, I don't know if 53E is still possible - I last visited this position several years ago and the eastern arc was blocked beyond this by trees a few hundred metres away - since then the Express sat here has changed with different footprints, and the trees might have grown enough to now block this position as well. If all goes well, at least 3 LNBs should be possible on this dish.
* Dish A3 - an 80cm Emme Esse red steel dish to cover satellites west of those received from the T90, provisional multi-lnb positioning is to be 14/15W, 22W (centre) and 30W.
* Dish A4 - the 80cm aluminium dish (assuming Dish A2 is the 1.2m one) might be brought into play to cover certain "gaps" in what the T90 can eventually cover, especially among the rather "tight" positions between 10E and 5W e.g. Saorsat LNB at 9E. Will only know more once actual experience with the T90 takes place.
* Dish S1 - intended to be a motorised setup using either a 1m Emme Esse aluminium dish or a 1m Gilbertini aluminium dish. Unlike the previous motorised setup, this setup is intended to be elevated a bit between 1.5m to 2.0m off the ground. This is structurally the most difficult install to do (hard to describe it without images/pictures) so getting all the fixed dishes in place at first would be ideal.
Hopefully then the setup should be a final setup for a good few years to come.
But that's enough about myself - I still think at a hobbyist level, satellite reception/DX-ing has plenty of life in it. Temporary surges in interest (usually related to piracy or at least some sort of grey-market access to certain channels/feeds) have come & gone but the base level of enthusiast activity remains there, and I reckon that satellite TV & radio broadcasting, free-to-air included, will still be going (if at a reduced level) in ten years time even if broadcasting as we know it in general is broadly in terminal decline.
