    Advice Needed 13E, 19.2E and 28.2E on a Zone 2 or Triax 80cm

    When I had my multisat setup I found that the Triax lnb 'bar' was the worst. It's impossible to flex and has very little adjustability. You'd be better off with an OEM product.

    Pack away the BBQ's - winter 2023-24 chat

    Pack away the BBQ's - winter 2023-24 chat

    In August last year we moved to an area close to Flers (ORNE). It turns out to be one of the wettest and windiest spots in Normandy. On the plus side, we have a heated indoor swimming pool... and no, it isn't the septic tank.

    Dishes on holiday

    I'm not sure where the feeds from the dishes went, as the building opposite was pretty well derelict. The larger dish on the right was a feed for a 5* hotel.

    When tinkering and changing dishes on my motorised system (dishes from 60cm to 1.2m), I've always tightened the clamps to the motor stub as tightly as possible but haven't done the same with the motor clamps.
