2.Next south afirican cannel etv on pas 7 68.5 east very hard to get in the uk as it is only about 4 degrees about the horizon

4. Two of my meters a Horizons satellite and a DTT signal meter

5. Andrews Ku band linear feedhorn & c120 inverto lnb

6.Another view of the dish also some old fenceing on the floor any one welcome to it had to put a new one up as we kept getting sheep in the garden just got to paint the other fence now, Also look at the dish on 72'e the dish is almost touching the polar it is so far over

These pic's i posted up are a few months old now and taken a week after i moved in, When i get my new digi cam i will take some more pic's of the rest of my gear set up,

For those who want to know what Orbit is it's not a uk satellite service it is a arab service for the middle east etc, Orbit decoder is seca media guard version 1.5 and has a internal embedded smart card it cost me $40 per month to subscribe to this as orbit let people in the west subscribe to there service,

Without orbit i would not be about to see any of my u.s.a shows like the one's i have posted in the pic's today, I think arab's and people in the middle east love U.S.A tv as orbit shows usa channel's and show's

I wish I could find one of these for my 1 meter Channel Master, or better yet, I could upgrade to a 1.2 (or even 1.8) with such a motor!
 
The top receiver in the 1st batch of pictures looks like a Coolsat :)

Here is a pic of the Coolsat 4000
