Just bought a 1m motorised satellite dish and receiver and now need it installing. Anyone had one of these put in and does anyone know of an installer? I would have a go myself but really don't fancy getting 15 foot up on a ladder! Any help greatly appreciated.


Chris

how does that work, and I might be able to lend a hand...

If its anything like my mates, though its probably smaller if its modern, he had his years and years ago, had to be mounted on his extension roof to allow it to turn, just use to pick up various satellites that were floating around, turned by a motor fixed to it, mainly pointed so he could pick up porn from Germany and France

Its not too difficult. Basically it just needs a bracket connecting to the back wall and mounting with a spirit level then the dish should just slot into place and be bolted on. Then one of the satellites need to be located either by trial and error or through the use of a compass. The receiver should then control the dish once the sattelites are located. Thats how i understand it anyway from what I have read, I would have a go myself im ok at stuff like this normally but as I said im not great with working at heights

What make and model is the motorised bit?

Just a standard motorised 1 metre dish its an alsat dish and spiderbox 9000hd box I got the package off the alsat website

sanchez will fit it. he's a dab hand at stuff like that. send him a pm and arrange to get it done.

sorry to bother you i live in prenton and was wondering how you got on with this and does it work any advice would be appreciated thanx

Hi Just seen your post, yeah got all fixed up in the end through one of the satellite forums I go on, yes all works great

so did you install it yourself

No I found someone to come and fit it for me was quite reasonable, he was only here for half hour or so, very easy to do if you fancy tackling it yourself but I didn't!

no i dont fancy that would you mind saying how much it cost and how to get in touch with him if poss thanx

Sorry mate, just seen your message ill PM you

Hi all, I've just bought a dm500hd which is hooked up to a sky dish, i want to go motorised can you supply me name an tel number of the guy you know? Thanks

PM sent mate

hi there, im looking to get a trusted local installer to fit a motorised sat dish, i see you have already done some research, would it be possible you could pass on any installers you managed to come across many thanks

Hi there Chris, Me and a friend are looking to get a motorised dish set-up too and wondered if you could send me the details of the person who installed yours, also if you don't mind, could i pick your brains about a few things on the subject???

Cheers
