Any idea how old it is, or what the model name was? It’s a heavy beast.

Lnb came from my old dish. I was given the Triax by a neighbour to try and improve fringe reception. The dish was not in use, but mounted on a barn when i collected it. It had been in use for many years i was told…

I have a large (115 ish), old (late 1990’s?) Triax and need a new lnb holder. Any ideas what model dish this is?? And apologies for the poor quality nighttime picture

12207V and 12110H received with 90% signal and 100% quality in Nissedal, Telemark, Norway. Philips 78cm dish, maximum 0,2db quad LNB, skyHD 1TB tuner, short cable run. Light cloud, - 2 degrees outside. No joy on the UK beam from 2F here (BBC1 Wales HD, 4Seven, etc.). Will wait for 2E before...

Apologies for quoting myself - the new platinum 0.2db pulled in CH4 HD in sweden (north of Torsby) on install. No other adjustments required. (weather has been good since LNB switch - clear skies and minus 7 degrees). Happy New Year all! PJ

Will help if i can - i've a fair bit of experience from installing dishes for expats/business users (freelanced for France Telecom doing temporary video conferencing sat installs in the bygone pre broadband 90's). These days I send my girlfriend up the ladder whenever we move house!! I'm new to...

Here are my findings based on two locations in Scandinavia. 4 kms north of Oslo, Norway - CH4 HD on a 80cm dish is OK in all weathers. LNB is sky's "standard" 4 way LNB that came with my original - now defect Thomson HD receiver. No brand name on it that I can see. 20 kms north of Torsby...
