My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Whoever installed it seems tohave forgotten to plug the cable into the LNB and there's rainwater getting into the cable....

My System: sky digital panasonic dsb40 | i believe its screwed into the bracket and a zip tie for extra support is there a problem having zip ties? anyway the question i specifically wanted to know was how big do you think the dish is i was told by supplier 2.7 it seems to me bigger than a 2.4 | ||

As for the size, I couldn't really say as you've joined the pictures up so we can't really get a correct perspective on the dish....

My System: 3.1m Famaval on 28.2, 1.5m offset on 19.2e, 13e & 7e all mixed in a spaghetti of wires and going into a dream thingy. | It's an Anderson 2.4m (I assume he didn't try to sell you the 1.8m version as a 2.7!!) infact I think this one is only 2.6m high anyway. Here it is: http://www.anderseninc.com/kuoffset.pdf Installation looks a tadge ropey! Cheers Nick | ||

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  | Its 2.4m wide by 2.6m long so classified as a 2.4m offset dish by andersen(true focus).The lnb looks like a mti apx xt2 type which seems to work best on those dishes(for me) How much did you pay for it? | ||

My System: sky digital panasonic dsb40 | can u explain why people think its a 2.7 then what do they get confused in, i have a friend with 2.4 and he says ours is slightly bigger than his, yes i agree its a anderson just looked at web page, the thing is when they sell you what you think is 2.7 and its not that makes a difference | ||

Satlook nit colour + Horizon hdsm. wii | Its very easy to fool someone who doesnt know about dishes,If the engineer came to you with a tape measure and showed you 2.7m by measuring the wrong way,how would you know? If you were charged 450 for dish receiver AND installation then its fair,but 80 pounds on top for that lnb? Give it back and I will sell you one that looks exactly the same(the MTI) for much much less.(PM me for price) | ||
