My System: 85cm transparent dish 0.2db lnb titanium wf100 cable dreambox500s technomate 9100 linux Eaglebox UK nds card | on the subject of the Fracarro aluminium and the steel....i presume that the quality is the same.....just the actual weight?

I have only ever used the Penta steel dish and they weren't that heavy. I believe Rolf has used both versions
