dishes aren't a n al ogue or digital, they just reflect any signal that comes to them.

dishes dont know the difference between a na logue or digital signals.

if the dish mount is the same as the one in the picture, i would suggest a different mounting as the pole the dish mounts to needs to be vertical.

i have an 80cm dish and get, 42e, 28e, 19e, 16e, 13e, 5e, 1w, 12.5w, 15w, and 30w

i cant pole mount it vertical as the clips on the dish are already vertical so i cant connect it

I can't see for certain from your picture, but if your pole is "L" shaped then the mounting on the back of the dish is horizontal, so as you say, it wouldn't go straight onto a vertical pole. It used to be possible to get adaptor kits, but I think you would be lucky to get one now, and in any case they were relatively expensive. You could get something fabricated, but you could easily introduce some unwanted flexibility into the mount. The best option would be to replace the dish - I'm sure you could find a home for the one you're using now!

is it called a adapter plate as on s-a-t-c-*re page 16 there is this
JACK18 JAEGER adaptor plate (for 1224) and aload of other bits above it is that it?

No, that's not it, totally different! If you buy a new dish and sell your old one it will cost you next to nothing! Don't waste time looking for the adaptor kit.
