i mean solid one i have patriot 3.1 m and its very old now i make some repairs for this dish i think if this dish in good situation will recieve all astra 2d at north of egypt but problem now that is very old ( patriot is different about paraclipse ) paraclipse have mesh and hydro solid(solid about 228 cm they called it as 240 cm ) other mesh paraclipse can about untill 490 cm
but you cant find now (mesh dish) paraclipse rear .(patriot also is very good company the dish consist of panels and this company produce huge solid only dishes untill i think 8 meter but the most famous dshes from this company( 310 cm, 380 cm , 450cm) .
