My first Sat dish install :-)
I've never actually installed a satellite dish before, so here it is.
This is my own dish for Freesat. I do have a 'satellite finder' but can't use it as I don't have a sat receiver yet. I've aligned it roughly the same as the other dish in the picture (the one furthest away). And No More Nails was not used to stick it up! Marky P. |

I DIY installed a 1.2m steerable dish in 1996 and it was right first time - set up alignment, fit dish, set limits, interpolate 19E, steer to position, $ky News came on. OTOH you can probably get away with trial and error on a small dish for freesat. |

My own dish is hidden from view by our chimney - can't say the same for the 16' aerial mast though :-) It is the front of a block of four flats. Unfortunately there are very high trees round the side & there is virtually no view to the sky. I did ask all the other flat dwellers if they minded, and all said it was fine. I suppose a mast on the apex would've cleared the trees, but my ladder ain't tall enough. Marky P. |

Sounds like you did the right thing then :-) IMHO Installations towering on masts from the apex are to be avoided unless essential. The symmetry of the dish compared with next door looks quite balanced. |

Didn't recognise Martin without his bald head! Serious comment: no fuse at the battery end of the connecting wire Car batteries will happily provide 100A to a short circuit. At the very least improvise a fuse by making the connection to one pole of the battery with a single strand of flex. Also I am surprised at his suggested technique, I would have said set the elevation first because the beamwidth is wider in the vertical plain and you have a scale to set it with, then swing the azimuth to acquire the bird. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |
