[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1134158, member: 176256"] That looks like an Orbitron multi-focus dish for multiple satellites. I have one similar. The theory is that vertically it's a proper parabola but horizontally it's a succession of circular cross sections. Basically it's a better way of using multi-LNBs across an arc compared to using a standard off-set dish. Yes it's a compromise, but a compromise across all its beamwidth. This compared with a standard dish which is designed to be perfect using an LNB in the normal position but quickly becomes heavily compromised for gain the further out you place and extra LNBs. There was another manufacturer of these type of dishes but I can't remember their name. [/QUOTE]
