Hello guys, I will be moving in my first apartment in about a month and I will probably have to get the rid of my 65cm offset dish (maplin) that has been serving me so well until now as I won't be allowed to keep it on the balcony.
I was thinking to replace it with the maplin 45cm square dish. I would build a little box for it and cover the front with a thin PMMA sheet (similar to the cube sold by digicams-uk) or some other suitable non interfering material (what could I use ?? a fine mesh plastic net?). The benefit of the flat panel of course is that there is not big LNB bracket sticking out and taking over half of the small balcony. If the "front cover" reduces the signal, could this be compensated by using a better LNB?
I am waiting for your expert advice as I have very little knowledge on Sat stuff!
