hi all, i have just been roadtesting my new experiment! i modified my 5 year old oyster vision and now i have a fully automated satellite internet dish on astra 23.5 and all my tv on astra 2 28.2 at the same time from the same dish. alden netmaster and the oyster satellite internet systems only allow you to have either tv or internet but i've set it up so i can have both.
Would really love to read a fuller description of what you did (although I don't have an automated dish, and no intention of getting one, I am very curious!)
hi gerald, i have astra 2 connect on my house because i cant get adsl as i am too far from the exchange. i have been using this on a tripod when away in the van for a year or two now but wanted to make it a bit easier to use. i have put the ilnb for the internet on the end of the oyster dish's arm and mounted the tv lnb alongside it, the clever bit is that the dish searches as normal with the tv lnb and when it locks on to astra 2 the dish and ilnb is pointing at astra 23.5 for my internet. so the dish is pointing at 23.5 and i am getting all my tv on the offset from astra 2 28.2 would be easier if you could use your idea tonka but you cant use the ilnb to search and that is the one that needs to be right on the money all the best sean
Hi Steve they are much of a muchness..... mine is around £920.00 per year 3M up and about 2K down from IPCopter with a ten haaft dish and tx head... yep the lnb off set is a very old idea as you say but well done......
hi clive, i agree that offset lnb's for tv have been around forever on fixed tv dishes but not using the offset lnb to drop in the main focus internet lnb on an automated dish, for a plumber not a sat engineer i'm quite chuffed with it
Yes as I said well done..... part of me I'm a broadcast engineer, tv radio and sat linking was with NTL for some years think i have about 3 main trades
