Channel Master is manufactured in the US, and therefore is 'quality' and has an extremely good gain for the relative size of dish. I have recently looked at IRTE, and its a good dish, but you have to buy a 2.4m to match the CM1.8m. Unfortunately the size is far more greater, and personally I think its huge! Then you have to work out the shipping costs of these large dishes, and that is another large cost. There are others such as in Poland ect. Vistit the link
http://www.astra2d.co.uk/ and go into there links and manufacturers. There is one there and its reasonably priced, but I think its manufactured in Poland. Other manufacturers maybe SVEC (China mainly Cband), Televes (Spain), Gilbertini, ect.
Generally CM are excellent, but getting the same spec for a cheaper price with the same size dish is problematic. If there is a manufacturer out there who does comply, I would like to know. Hope I was of some help! Maybe not...!
