The £63 for an aluminium Orbital is a very good price and i cant se it being that much different performance wise compared to the Gibertini, the only thing the Gibertini has is the backplate, LNB arm & nuts/washers etc are galavanised and should last the test of time for rust proofing where as the Orbital the LNB arm will still be steel as well as the Nuts/Washers etc could be weather prone but a good dab of grease all over should see these last just as long

i think i'll just take it as it comes when it comes to the dish,
still not sure what to do...

skybox f5s should have been here by today the latest,
hasn't even come yet,
i've sent an email to the seller,
i guess it will probably end up here on monday now...

hey peeps, i still havent recieved my skybox f5s :(

i ordered it early last week on monday,
it was suppose to be with me by friday or saturday the latest,
i sent email to the seller on saturday asking whats going on and i got no reply,
so i thought i might end receiving it today but still no sign of it,
had to email the seller again and still no reply,
now im just taking it further with eb*y,
jut a bit of a headache...

to be fair i always use eb*y and dont normally have any issues,
its just frustrating when you dont know where you stand....

hey peeps, i almost forgot someone on another forum has one of those 1.2m faval dishes that i mentioned earlier in the thread,
i did ask him if he can take some pics of the back bracket so i can check it out,
he doesn't mind me sharing them, so ive attached them so you can see...

i did mention to him that i've got the tm2600 motor and
he said something along the lines that the back bracket on the dish can be put the normal way on
or upside down to suit whichever motor you have....

On the face of it,it should mount on the tm2600,you have plenty of stub to work with.

That must have been frustrating,i've been there myself in the past. Some sellers do need a kick up the proverbial backside.

tell me about it mate,
i sent the seller three messages and got no reply,
i opened a case with eb*y and i was told to give the seller 8 days to try and sort it out,
but after about 3 days the seller closed his account with eb*y,
so in a nutshell he left eb*y and didnt bother contacting me,
yet i still had to wait 8 days from the day i opened the case for eb*y to issue a refund...

to be fair i dont normally have any problems when buying on eb*y,
i just hope its a one off lol

Mind you,if the seller of the original Skybox F5 sent it to your location on here, that would explain why you never received it...:rolleyes:
