[QUOTE="archive10, post: 884276"] Channel Master indeed. CJ, what do you mean carbon copy of it? Only copies I've come across were made in Malta for private purposes (see other thread on thise site). Apart from Channel Master (now owned by Skyware), SMC dishes often seen are made by Laminas, Prodelin, Chaors (formerly Visiosat). Have seen Chinese ones advertised, but never come across one. The SMC (Sheet Moulded Compound) method of making these ensures that they have very much exactly the same shape as the mould, and therefore are very precise reflectors. Maintains shape even during normal handling, and will withstand quite some rough weather. Also means that they last for years and years even when mounted, maintaining original performance throughout. (Downside is they are heavier, and often more expensive than steel/alu dishes.) [/QUOTE]
