[QUOTE="beavs2112, post: 905980, member: 384689"] Sadly good 1.2m fiberglass dishes are very hard to come by in Canada. We can order them from the manufacturers in the USA but the price goes way up (sometimes more than twice the dish cost) due to shipping costs & USA - Canada import customs fees & taxes. Since the FTA market in Canada is very small compared to Europe or the USA hardly any dealers buy the good dishes cause they don't sell well. Most people in Canada that want FTA TV want the cheapest & smallest dish possible. So there are a lot of cheap 1.0m & 1.2m very thin steel dishes(made in China mostly). DirecTV ( & the Canadian equivalent Bell) normally uses small steel dishes 0.5m or less (18-20 inch.) because their satellites are much higher powered. DirectTV does use 1.2m fiberglass Prodelins in the Hawaii & Alaska states in the USA but they won't sell them to us Canadians :) [/QUOTE]
