What an absolute monster! Lovely dish... And good result!
Two weeks ago he dismantled a 2.8m dish that someone wanted to get rid off. If I knew that before I could have had a 2.8m instead of a 2.3m now.
Hi joddle,
It is not an illusion, you are absolutely right. I noticed that too and tried to correct that as good as I could with a small piece of wood between the feedhorn and the lnb holder. Also the "bent" arm needed to be pushed up a bit so I untightened the screw that hold it to the dish and reception improved.
I have had no time to try the dish again. Maybe tomorrow or in the weekend. Today I talked to the person who installed this dish 20+ years ago but he didn't remember the make of the dish and couldn't help with a new mount that I need.

Well, I don't know how and where to start. It's been a very calm night with almost no wind at all. I've been in and out of the house comparing signal levels between my 1.8 and the 2.3m. I was looking at my living room tv when I heard a strong noise... went running outdors and the 2.3 was lying in the ground, bent...
Wind started to blow a little bit more intense and bang! I have now a 2.3m bent dish that was so hard to find. My adventure is over.
Thanks for all the help provided in this thread. Can't say nothing more....
