Reply With QuoteThere's a lot of snake oil and markups for satellites these days I saw a SHARP LNBF go for $200. $40 from a supplier lol
Wonder how much cheaper it is to buy from Azure Shine directly I doubt they do orders for anything less than 100 units though
Funny think is the rubbish cost more than the Azure Shine dishes.Originally Posted by nullb

Geeeeee I like the 1.5 and the 1.8M Azure Shine offset dishes. Wonder if the 1.8M Azure shine is available in Australia?There's a lot of snake oil and markups for satellites these days I saw a SHARP LNBF go for $200. $40 from a supplier lol

Not sure, maybe we could do a group buy sometime directly from them. It's probably really cheap.
They also seem to make their own LNBFs which look cool, wonder if one of their 180cm or 240cm could be good for c-band reception.
Ex factory the minimum order quantity is a full 20FT container. Nowadays it'll takes years to sell and so nobody is game enough bring them in anymore. Whatever is out there is probably 5 to 10 years old. You'll find some who have a few in stock want big bucks for it, other who want to get out of the dish business will sell cheap.

Certainly similar to the Austar installed 1.2m x 1.3m elliptic I have here.
Definitely high quality strong mount & general construction.
Was installed a long time ago.
Spot the differences.

Damn that's held up nicely :O Too bad they don't give out anything near that good any more but to be fair the small plastic crap Foxtel dish seems to do well enough here in Melb.
@B52 Yeah I thought so, my friend imports from TW a bit I might see if he can fit some in a container for me one day, I wouldn't mind one of their 120cm Ku dishes but I don't really want to spend $200+ right now.
The 1.8m looks great for C-Band as well.

Were the 'A' or 'B' series Satellites still in use when that dish was installed or even Sputnik Mk1?
I stand unequivicably behind everything I say, I just dont ever remember saying it !!
Yes our both 1.2m dishs have 6 bolt not 5 from the dish to the collar/ring plus the "T" bar is thicker stronger and the LNB support is straight not bent like yours. These dishes would last a 100 years and put up with 100 MPH winds. My other 1.2M would not last 30 MPH wind (the LNB oscillate even if I fart close to the dish) . Even if you bump it the LNB shakes for 30 seconds. That's very poor and we need to find out what the manufacture of THAT dish and keep away from that rubbish.
Now I think of replacing that 1.2 with another 1.2M Azure shine dish . I still would like to find the Azure Shine 1.5 or 1.8 Offset dish. WOW If they continually keep dropping the power I will get the 1.8M if I can get it.
Anyhow I will take some pic of the dish 2morrow as its raining now.

If you find anywhere selling the large Shine dishes let me know
The first photo shows SOME of our KU dishes. The most forward one is the NEW 1.8 AZURE SHINE Dish. The Bird cage behind is the same color as the dish and close to the House Bricks/. The Five dished comprise of 2 X 1.2M AZure + one SHIT 1.2M + a 85 CM + a 80 CM
The next photo shows the rear of the Azure Shine 1.2M Dish with one of the rescued native bird cages behind. Had to do a re wire as the RG 6's were to short
The next photo shows the NEW 1.2M Azure Shine dish. The Concrete foundation is like a bottle of medical tabs. All you see if the twist top. Massive concrete underneath the stones. All my job is neat as this. I take pride when I do things.
The next photo shows the REAR of the new dish. Notice the angle iron as I had to make them as they were missing in the box. The Supplier supplied them three days later. I did not want to wait 3 days so I made them.
We are carers for Native res birds. Cost a lot of $$ to do this and the State Goverment give us FU.CK ALL but charge us for doing this service. LOL what a bunch of dick heads they are.
The resident Magpies. One of our Magpies. This one was saved from a bird of pray that destroyed the nest and killed one of the parent birds. After this the other Parent left the scene. This Magpie was only 1 week old when rescued. This Bird called "BROOP" is fully domesticated and cannot be released so it now a part of the family. Every Night "Broop" and the other domesticated magpie called "Minnie" jump into a cat carrier cage and we than go into the House so they can have fun flying around the house. After one hour of flying around the house I tap my shoulder and both go on my shoulder and I walk into the BED bedroom that house sick birds where they jump in there respective sleep cages.(winter is cold outside LOL). The funny thing is when sometime I have a shower "BROOP flys in and stops up the top of the shower then jump on top my shoulder and has a shower too.

Really nice setup man I wish I had the space for that, I just pulled down my 5+ dish setup in favor of single motorized 80cm one.
What LNBF are you using on those looks like that Inverto Black?
They are SHARP 4 port LNBF using 1070 LO I have one using universal
You'll find main Satellite suppliers in Sydney and Melbourne have them but shipping is a problem.If you find anywhere selling the large Shine dishes let me know
To reduce the overseas shipping costs they were piled up on pallets, not individually packed,

I'll see if ptv has any in Melb I can just pick it up and toss it on the roof racks or get a trailer, I'm thinking one of their 1.2m or 1.8m will work well for c-band, I've got another thread asking for recommendations on that in the newbie section, can't do a 3m mesh where I am
Can't find any of the 120cm available in Melbourne, anybody got any ideas where I can get one in Victoria?
I've got an 80cm oval shaped Azure Shine but want to upgrade to the 120cm one.
Tried PTV no luck, guy said they have none in stock and satplus in vic also none
Melbourne Sat has another brand and it look good as it has the center ring but its Expensive and they want $500 for it. No doubt the Azure Shine 120CM dish are a good Dish.Can't find any of the 120cm available in Melbourne, anybody got any ideas where I can get one in Victoria?

Yeah there's no bloody way I'm paying $500 for a what should be at most a $100 dish.
I can get a 1.8m prime focus for less than $150 why the hell would I pay $500.
What a scam, I'll keep an eye on gumtree and such hopefully somebody eventually turfs out one that's how I got my 80cm Azure Shine for $35 delivered
Unless anybody here can think of somewhere I can get one :/
Be patient you will find one. even if you pay $50- 60 for delivery it will be ok for that sizeYeah there's no bloody way I'm paying $500 for a what should be at most a $100 dish.
