Hi,
I'm trying to install a dish for FTA channels pointing to EUTEL W7, but the dish only has a setting for elevation of 'max 50 degrees' while http://www.dishpointer.com/ says to set my dish at:
Elevation: 58.1 degrees
Azumuth(magn.): 36.3 degrees
Lnb Skew: 15.7 degrees

Is there a place so that I can just buy the elevation bracket or must I buy a new dish completely with greater elevation?

Thanks.

Any great advice for installing dishes shall also be welcomed ^^.

I have a 2 meter dish installed with a motorize arm and at the moment I just change the channel and the dish move to the sat position.

Best to have a professional do it for you.

I have now all together 108 channels on my dish, 12 satellites in total and every day more come online. All free to air.
 
Josandre53 108 channels, I am interested how many of the channels are worthwhile to watch and in english. Approximately how much would a set up like that cost in total?
 
Well, most of them are in Arabic.
Then you have a few in African languages, but most of them to show programs
in english with subtitles.
Al Jazeera - News in all languages
Al Jazeera - Sport in Arabic some times in English.
Al Jazeera - Children in Arabic.
Al Jazeera - Documents in Arabic and English.
Qatar TV - Arabic and English
Syrian TV - Mostly Arabic & some Engilsh
Southern Sudan - Arabic and English.
Oman TV - Arabic.
Kuwait TV - Arabic, English and French
Saudi TV - Arabic, English and Ffench
Sudan TV - Arabic.
Ethiopia TV x 4 - Different languages.
Iraqi TV Arabic and English
Saudi TV Arabic and English

Eritrea TV Mostly in English. Good movies on it without adds.
Peace TV English
Huda TV Educational TV in English
TV Oromia - English and other languages.

And many more. Every week more channels get added.

The FTA Decoder is about R700.00, 2m dish and cam is about R650.00, Robotic arm and indoor controlbox R450.00
Installation is a bit steep. R1500.00.
Not everybody install this kind of setup. Only a few installers are available in Fordsburg that does this installation.
I have tried a few places, Ellies don't do it, these installers that does DSTV and TopTV does not do it either.

motorized arm

Hello Josandre53,
I am also interested in installing a motorized arm. I have an 80 cm Dish to keep DStv running but have 2 smaller Dishes to play with. Maybe even interested to get a Multi LNB with a bigger Dish.
Could not find a place where I can buy this here in SA , except maybe Space TV but they also keep only 80cm Dishes in the shop.
Do you know a place where I can get equipment in Joburg and maybe also an advice, means friendly service?
regards
tom
