Hi I am looking to buy a new dish about 90 cm and having seen that there are a great deal on offer at different prices what i would like to know is, is there a difference in the performance from one dish to the next? Or is a dish just a dish? thanks | ||

| Dishes vary on performance and on features Mesh is normally less effective as solid, but is easier to camouflage Fittings could be wallmount only, post mount, or with option of motor drive Make sure you buy one that has what you need (if you are upgrading for motorised later you might want one that can fit a polarmount )
