I can't wait any longer, I'm going to see what the missus has organised for dinner. I'll be back tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Does she live a long way away, then?

Guys im watching Ad Sports now with 60% signal. its 10% more then the signal then the 1.8m

1 of the panels is a bit deaf so it may effect it a bit but atleast I can watch it in dry weather and a bit of rain. Maybe a bit more tweaking needed but i am happy for now!

 

[garyg]

My technomate was telling me i had 57% signal but my humax actually says 60% so it seems abit better then my 6800HD WTF! ha! I am over the moon!

The importance of using a professional spectrum meter to get alignment I'm guessing

Not quite mate, the panels were not actually in line very well so he performed a shakedown, made a new lnb bracket for my feedhorn that is alot better and then a hell of alot of tweaking! lol

F.A.B !

I'd forgotten that you have a brick wall at the front - useful for hiding the full extent of the farm from all but the pickiest passer-by.

Exactly ;) works quite well! There is a tiny chance the very bottom of the dish is clipping the wall but should not be

Nah, I use the analyser to power the squawker but it does impress anyone that passes by

The real tools of the trade are;
wet tea towel,
broomstick,
fishing line and
ice cream syrup,

With that I'll let Gary fill you in, (and report on how the dish performs in the somewhat worse weather conditions on their way)

ahahaha!

well... with a deaf panel steve tried some tin foil on it to see if signal increased... we had no paste as such... so ice cream syrup was the closest thing we had and the most sticky LOL
