Installed something there (Valencia Road) a few years ago.

On the map it's no more distant than say Maidenhead for me, but in reality there are no fast or clear roads I can take.
(Twickenham, Kew, round the North Circular, off at the Gyratory, skirt past W Kingsbury etc).
Conservatively, a half day - or two hours each way - for travel alone.

So one full day for a standard motorised install, plus the outdoor kit. What receiver(s) were you thnking of ?

I've gone out and already purchased a DM800HD clone without doing much research, am hoping that it will be able to drive the motor without any problems or issues?

I installed a quad system a month ago where the customer had the same receiver. There was a small issue to start with, but once reset, the dish motor ran without an issue.

It's a single input receiver only though, so the motor drive cable would have to be determined from the start, I assume you would run the dish from the living room, giving you one redundant cable.

Any update ?

IAmATeaf · Mar 28, 2011

Sorry, mate forgot all about my posts here.

I've gone for a non motorised setup for the time being to save some money and I went ahead and did the install myself. Didn't have time to finish the wiring but so far have the t&k galvanised bracket, pole and dish mounted and aligned to 28.2e. Went for a TD78 in the end to keep the wife happy, with a quad inverto black ultra and some tx100 cable.

Ran out of daylight to run all the cables so will probably do that this coming Saturday.

Saves me a rather long and arduous journey in constant traffic.

Just updating the thread.

Potential customers beware, there is someone trading as me and advertising as the business Sat-Elite in the areas I cover. I have made a number of attempts to contact them as their name infringes on both trademark and advertising in the UK thanks to the Patent Office and a a long established company name. They have to date refused to call back.

Deal at your own risk with anyone that advertises by the name Sat-Elite in the areas listed above unless you have been given a works number/full quotation or valid response/install date via pm from this site.

Thank you for your continued support.

Hi there. I recently got a motorised dish and need somebody to install it, post code is KT2. Please let me know how to get in touch for details/quote.

Thanks.

Channel Hopper · Feb 24, 2012

Post away. What is the system design (make/model), and what type of property ?

boyko · Feb 24, 2012

Triax90cm / Technomate TM2600 / quad LNB. I also have a receiver (came with a packet I got - Bulstacom ZHD100, Hellas 2 39E) though that probably won't be able to move the motor so would neeed another one. Also need cable (dual would do). Poperty is semi-detached, facing north so dish will be at the back - overall good visibility. Not sure if I am missing something...

I'll have a go at enabling PMs tonight and if successful, pop over in the next day or so to have a look and price up.

Thank you for the excellent work, Channel Hopper - everything works really fine. Much appreciated...

Thanks for letting us know. Positive feedback is always good - it gives other folk reassurance.

A pity I had to chop more of the tree down than I would have wished
(All satellites - including Turksat 42 - came in fine, the Bulgarian was however rather picky on a few frequencies until two branches were taken off, and then others had to go to make the 'haircut' neat).

Time to truncate your User Name?

Channel Hopper · Apr 4, 2012

Which part of North West London ?

Do you already have any equipment ?

Is it your own property and if so, what type ?

Frenzy10 · Apr 17, 2012

I have a iStar Korea HD Satellite Box but i believe i need a 240cm dish to get Badr 6 and Abu Dhabi Sports HD. I have a 120cm dish attached and receive Arabsat 26E and Hotbird 13E
