Could you hold a measuring tape to the dish horizontally and vertically and confirm the size?

Very nice, here, thanks.Hallo what a lovely day, I hope it is the same with yourself : )
1.35m X 1.23m to the rims at the face, the working bit.
Very nice, here, thanks.
Ok - that confirms a couple of things.
1) You do have the model 1.3m, not the 1.1m (At least you don't have the wrong model)
2) Your dish is actually a ~120 cm effective reception area (horizontal value minus a few cms) - not bad, same as 125 cm Gibby, Channel Master 120 etc.
3) The Triax 110 cm is actually a 100 cm dish, as it's 100x105 cm according to data sheet.
4) the 120 is about 1,44* the size of the 100, which translates to roughly 2,5 dB more gain.
So you should definitely have better reception on the 1.3 than on the Triax.
Which means something is most likely wrong with the 1.3 - hope the SSS people can come back with an explanation.
It was an ideal dish due to its weight using a diseqc motor.
Good evening thank you for your post.Spiff
did you try to adjust position / sku of lnb - Is there a maker description with dish telling where Is optimal lnb position
try to move dish up and down left and right and If that can not give you Increased SNR there Is a problem with dish
from pics I guess that this dish Is with less than 0.6 f/d which might be a reason for lower gain
f/D refers to the focal depth related to the diameter of the dish. It is an expression of the illumination angle of the dish when seen from the LNB.Good evening thank you for your post.
Have adjust LND sku plus front to back to max.
Nothing much in the way of instructions with the dish other that very small blured difficult to read assembly details on box : )
With less than 0.6 f/d does this refer to focal distance, I am not up to speed with the terms.
The lnb peaks at a point as far back as it will go away from the dish.

Good evening 10.69 on our postal sales so very close : )Interesting : The Laminas I have on my diseqc motor weighs 8kg (including the mount) and has a gain of 42.1 dB. I can't find a reference to the weight of yours on the suppliers site, any idea? Anyway it's not so much the weight but the force of the wind on the dish face.
Edit : From the Primesat site, the 1.3M dish weighs 10.15kg.

What size is your dish
I did consider inporting a fiberglass dish from Poland but it was an unknown.
This is without doubt a major f...up ..Send it back someones made a boo boo at the factory and QC has gone out of the window for this one
No doubt. Got a faval\primesat 125, comparing to mine, impression is all holes except maybe the one for bottom arm are drilled in the wrong place! Or the l\r holes for the arms are ok, and the bottom hole is wrong and the dish is upside down + wrong holes for the rear bracket! Quite a story, sorry for your ordeal.Send it back someones made a boo boo at the factory and QC has gone out of the window for this one

Can't be sure by just looking at photos, but as it is now the l\r arms are too high on the dish, so the lnb focus\angle must be way out, probably the main reason for the bad results.
