You can get 36" T&K's if your that way inclined or have some fabricated to your own measurements

my dish is a triax 1.1 metre dish and I used the larger standoff T-K brackets , plus I also used the longer ones at my lads house and yet he would hit the wall past 15 west (with an 80cm dish) so we removed those sats from 15w to 30w out of his spiderbox sat list, so he cannot go that far west
as you are in south wales, double check your longitude is correct becasue manchester is 2.1w and yet wales is west of me , so more on a par with liverpool or conway I would have thought

I have got new 24in brackets 2t 1k dish is still close to wall, I have 2mtr scaffold and plenty of cable brought the dish down the pole for easy access to work on as i am by myself doing it.
As for my longitude it's something like 0.678 west not exactly (from dishpointer)
cannot be right for south wales !!!
I have just looked at south east wales on bing maps and dishpointer and this is what I get for say gloucester
Address: gloucester
Latitude: 51.8642°
Longitude: -2.2382°
so that is approx 2.24 west , not dissimilar to manchester at 2.1w
and for Bridgend
Address: bridgend
Latitude: 51.5043°
Longitude: -3.5769°
which is 3.58 west
and further west oxford in england is
Address: oxford
Latitude: 51.7520°
Longitude: -1.2577°
which is approx 1.26 west
whereas say slough is
Address: slough
Latitude: 51.5105°
Longitude: -0.5950°
which is 0.6 west, meaning that 0.67 is more on a par with Slough in england, not south wales
or more like High Wycombe , in england
Address: high wycombe
Latitude: 51.6286°
Longitude: -0.7482°
so a longitude of 0.678 puts you in england, not wales, and not south wales either
pm me your nearest town or village or city and I will pm back a rough idea on longitude and latitude
and half your dish diameter is less than 24 inches so no way would it touch the wall and 24 inch T-K brackets , the boom arm and lnb maybe but not the dish (a 1.1m dish is maybe 42 inches or less, so 21 inches is the radius so maybe 3 inches away from the wall at 90 degrees , or two inches taking into account where the pole goes)
It's 43 and half inches m8 say 22inches each side
Although the brackets are 24in full length the holes for the u bolts are about 1 1/2 inch or more in.
echelon (25-02-2016)
ok , so due to the pole not being 24 inches from the wall then you are saying the dish just hits the wall due to not enough clearance, so the ideal would be if it was something like 26 inch or 28 inch T-K brackets and not 24 inch T-K brackets, which makes sense , so a 90cm or 95 cm dish would suffice, possibly a smaller one as my lad uses an 80cm dish and gets the stronger sats ok including 13e , 16e , 19e , 23.5e , 28.2e and 39e
as for your gps, I have received your pm and sent back the correct longitude and latitude settings and I am afraid you were way out by several degrees in your earlier posts but the south wales reference earlier gave me more idea that you were further west than I am and so greater than 2.2w, so my last post in post #24 gives you good ideas on where you should be and what to use as well as the accurate pm
so use the settings I sent you by pm, for accuracy

Eche:
Sorry so long in getting back had not had chance to try and sort anything.
I am uploading a couple of pics.
The dish is pointing to 23.5.e with USALS nothing at all on any sats now set lat/long as advised and elevation at 27.5.
Double checked pole was OK with boat level all the way round.
Ordered a 90cm dish will be here in a couple of days.
I have to go up the ladder adjust come back down and try again and the go back up i can not climb and focus properly.
When i enter west is it .357.or.3.578

that depends on your Longitude, for your location, check with dishpointer.com.
If your Longitude is negative, -3.578, then you enter 3.578 West, or 3.58, if you have to round it up, if your Longitude is -0.3578, then you enter 0.3578 West.
echelon (15-04-2016)
I believe he is further west than I am in manchester, so its the 3.578 west , or round it down or up to 3.58 for example
the alternative is to take it away from 360 and use east, so that would be 356.422 east
I also sent you your correct usals settings by pm ages ago from what I remember
Yes you did and i thank you for that.
Just installed the latest Black hole image was using vix image.
But can't set it up as in vix image.
.
Tuner A advanced tuner B second cable of motorised dish
Can set it up with A and B switched but not as B as second cable
Why are you using the advanced option?
I have to use the advanced options, as I have a 36v motor, and a V-Box II, and the configuration does work, with Tuner B set as second cable from motorized dish, providing Tuner A is connected to the motor, otherwise set Tuner A to second cable and set Tuner B up as the main tuner.
If your dish, in the images, is really pointing at 23.5E, then you have a very limited satellite arc, with the current location. Can you move the dish, to a better position, to provide at least from 1W to 39E?
set the main tuner for the motor , say tuner A as advanced motor etc
set tuner B to equal tuner A if the 2 cables come from the same motorised lnb
I have changed the dish to a 90cm dish sent it to zero position.
Then tried to set it up using USALS and now the motor will not move.
Something is wrong because the red light is not flashing on the motor.
Checked cable ends of box and motor in case the were lose.
Redone the ones on the box .
Can anyone recommend a motor apart from the Dark motor (superior intel) as i have only had it 18 months
It's the cable took one out of sky dish put in line connector and a piece up to motor and moved it west.
The original cable is wf 100 and the extension was rg59 cable .
So the problem is cable on the motor or going into the box
echelon (25-04-2016)
I have been given 20mtrs of rg59 twin cable.
I have two type of f connector rg6 and sky.
The RG6 i had to cut a load of outer sheath and pull braid back just for it to grip and for the sky i had to force it on twisting the cable for the extension i used to test
Are there any connectors for the rg59
RG59 type is used primarily for CCTV i think your getting mixed up with what Sky officially use which is WF65 Shotgun cable, have a look on a certain a-u-c-t-i-o-n site for the connectors
echelon (26-04-2016)
Ditched the rg59 cable and bought 20mtr of RG6 made one off snug fit on the cable.
Not going to use compression fittings.
The only problem i have got is the lounge has been decorated paper and painted and er indoors has said you are not making any mess trying to get the cable through the wall.
mine is through the wall and terminated onto a faceplate with barrel type connectors , so looks similar to an aerial faceplate, other half was quite happy as it all blends in with the sockets and aerial faceplate , no mess , no fuss
digicon (26-04-2016)
At a loss now:
Made new ends on cable going to motor (cut about 12in off)
Put a new piece of cable from motor to twin black ultra lnb.
Checked cable from motor to house an through wall no damage.
Also put new BLACK ULTRA twin lnb and motor will not move.
Will try the sky cable and joint later .
Got to have a break as i am in agony with my back.
You can also get white plastic cover caps which go around the cable, they have a bung on them that pushes
into the hole in the wall and you are just left with the cable coming through, they allow you to have the cable straight to the Stb, without joins
you can also put a blob of Silicone sealant on them to hold them in place.
