Looking for a 1.25m dish and suitable motor to drive it (wall mounting brackets etc... as well)

Currently have a 1m orbital and on 7.3w on a channel i want i am getting 37% signal, i need 47% signal to watch the required channel solid

Do you think the gain between my 1m dish and say a 1.1m dish would give me the extra 10% signal required or should i just move upto 1.25m ???

What do you guys reccomend make wise and where to buy it??? I have checked our site sponsor but they seem to only do upto 1.1m

Look forward to hearing back from the experts and thanks in advance :)

Gibertinti 1.25 aluminium ,tm2600 motor and a inverto black ultra lnb should do the trick

For cost reasons and based on the advice of my fitter, i am going to try a Triax 1.1m first, he seems to think if setup correct it will give me the necessary gain over my orbital 1m to provide the extra 10% signal i need

If it all goes pete tong, i am out of pocket for £55 for the Triax which i could always sell on and then go for the 1.25

Do it your self and save the price of the fitter youll be surprised how easy itll be and for a meter if thats your issue use enigma signal meter on an android phone or pad , you wont fail but if you do then call the fitter to finish it , I still think a triax wont be your answer I have one that i started with the focus on them isnt the best , but your fitter must have done a few in your part of the uk to know , let us know if it was any better when your done

Hey Steve, thanks for the input matey it's appreciated, i am partially disabled so theres no way i could go up the ladder sadly or i would give it a go

I am on fairly good "mate" terms with the fitter and hes only charging me £40 for the fitter, so am quite pleased tbh

I will deffo update here once done, i am only like 10% out of where i need to be in the daytime so fingers crossed this will do the trick, if not then the 1.25 gilb it will be lol

thanks again

Is that going to give you 7.3w all day long or do you still anticipate having loss at times because if its just a boost in signal when you do pick the bird up maybe you want to try one of those inline amplifiers if the BER isnt high , just a thought ive never tried one but itll lift the signal a good few db , maybe some one on here has tried one can put in some input in them
