I wont link to it as I dont want to be seen as advertising! as Im not...

But if you search for 2.4m dish on the ebay UK site you'll see several listings for the same product.

What are peoples thoughts? They seem very cheap... How easy would it be to add a polar mount you think?


EDIT: Though they sell in the UK and suggest the 2.4m could be used for Sky. That'll probably blow the Sky box out the roof with the signal gain :D


Thanks,
Aaron

Jonsa/Fortecstar dishes - very much best left avoided. They'll rust and fold by the time autumn is over.

...if you're lucky.

In C band it might not be too bad but the construction and material quality/finish leaves a lot to be desired.
