[QUOTE="jleal, post: 900661, member: 175798"] Hi all. Yesterday I went to see the big satellite dish my friend wants to get rid of. That thing is huge, I've never been close to a dish that size. It is not exactly 2.4m, it's a few centimeters more than 2.3m and it has an addicional rim that gives it 2.4m dimension, but the reflector area is definitely 2.3m. One thing that I noticed was that the lnb holder arms were not straight. The dish has three. Two are the same size and linear but the third one is curved and bigger than the other two. The dish is prime focus no doubt about it, and my friend tells me that the curved lnb arm was like that from day one of purchase, a lot of years ago. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures but I'm trying to get someone to transport the dish to my house soon so I hope to post some in a few, not many, days. My reception with the 1.8m PF is the same, no improvements at all. Clouds and a little rain doesn't seem to affect reception much. Hopefully the 2.3 dish will improve at least the pixellation that some channels experience. [/QUOTE]
