My System: 3m(sky),1.8m(astr/hotbird),1m (nilesat)1m(arabsat)diseqc 4,sky plus,humax freesat,visionet 8000s,technomate 5400 ci+ usb super. Satlook nit colour + Horizon hdsm. wii



There is a dish we use over here,Famaval which is 2.4m and also comes with 8 extension panels which bring it to 3.1m.They improve the signal a lot but would be better if it were a one piece dish because if the panels are not completely flush all the way round it affects the gain.
Likvid,if you calculate the focal length all in inches then isn't the resulting f/d ratio also in inches? Eg an f/d ratio of .42 should mean(as a decimal) just under half an inch(where .5 would be half inch)does that make sense?
