Maybe Zade has new dishes that I have not seen, BUT I have never seen any dish over 3m in one piece. Take a photo of one from front and back. Second hand 4.3m can go for €500 or less as buyer will collect. 1.8m cannot get 2D so no BBC. Or a lot of HD channels and not many movie channels and probably not sky sports 4/news,eurosport 2.

Prodelin 4.5m in Zade for astra 2D

Just Sky TV at home now But have Installed Sat Dishes in 80+ different Countries from 35cm to 16m

Andrew When they Spun Reflectors in Scotland Would supply a 3.7m in 1 It need a special route and Low loader, but a lot of the BT TMW antennas for BT 1 were 1 part reflectors, as up a tower it was needed, did anyone see BT taken down all the larger TMW Antennas off the PO Tower (Daily Mail in the last 2 weeks) _www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2070608/BT-Tower-Last-satellite-dish-removed-iconic-building.html although the mails URL says Sat Dishes they are TMW, but there was never a reason why they couldnt be put on a polar mount and used as a Sat Dish.
i Know for a fact B SKY B had 2 of these 1 at Isleworth and 1 at Chilworth.

Got a couple in stock, not yet used one, sold over in the Uk as Squish and a similar version under another name. They are quite expensive.

Not bad, about the same as a sky minidish, possibly a little worse.

What's the picture quality look like? Is it ok? The no. of Channels? And lots of Wh... questions. Where should we fasten them and how? How they receive the signal? 'coz they're flat!!!

Not on holiday as such but not at home either. Taken from floor P of The Royal Hallamshire Hospital where my daughter has been recovering from illness, cannot really understand why they would have two identical dishes (apparently) pointing at the same satellite on the same hospital outpatients building

I've managed to locate where they're mounted using Dishpointer (but not the dishes which must have been installed later than the image on Google Earth) and they seem to be looking at 28.2°E. Anything to do with NHS Direct or do they have TV in the waiting rooms now? (Hope you daughter is feeling better soon)

The dishes look quite old, managed to find them on google earth, looks like they are pointing further West, probably 10E or so.

Another bit of mystery and intrigue, on a long weekend in Paris for a relative's wedding and was up the Eiffel Tower yesterday and on one leg pointing towards the middle of the structure was this baby

Having walked up the first two stages I felt it was the best way of giving my body a rest, but still no idea what is the purpose of that dish, however to move forward.........

here is one on the top of the C&A building in Paris, not sure but looked like a 2.80mtr from ground level

Not exactly on holiday just visiting but in Blackpool at the ARC rehabilitation home, come to think of it not exactly a dish hence perhaps not the correct thread lol.

Site to site microwave?
