[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 824959, member: 176256"] The effective size of an off-set dish (except for specials like the Sly, Raven and Wavefrontier dishes) is the horizontal measurement. If you look at the dish from the LNB's point of view then the vertical measurement shrinks and the diah becomes almost circular. Strictly speaking the measurement should only be of its effective curved area so shouldn't include any of a rolled off edge for instance. Calling a 1.78m dish a 1.8m is marketing. Calling a 1.2m dish a 1.35m is, unfortunately, the Spanish (and Portuguese) way but is fundamentally wrong. [/QUOTE]
