[QUOTE="deepbluesky, post: 106662, member: 176074"] Hi, Unfortunately the former domain of [url]http://www.ktidish.com/[/url] is not alive anymore, so i don't know where you can find further detailed information about those dishes but i know that many stores around the world still sell them. Indeed i also read that KTI is one of the better mesh dish manufacturers but be aware that you lose about 60-80% (the smaller the holes the less the loss) of signal compared to a well made solid one. This would mean that in worst case (if the dish is still perfect parabolic shaped) it would perform as a solid PFA of 0.6*2.4m=1.44m and in best case as a 0.8*2.4m=1.92m I suppose latter is the case because further north in Cyprus Astra 1G reception starts on 1.50m Offset and full permanent reception of 1G+1H needs 1.80m offset or 2.40m PFA always solid. Hispasat 1C+D need around 2.40m as well. I am not sure if there is any big difference on these satellites between Cyprus and Northern Egypt (suppose you are there) but if not then i would go for at least the 3m mesh version, though i am not sure if this would be enough in your region. But i also know of the restriction in size at least in Cairo and probably a 3m would not be allowed. Since all the size announcements are based on different people's installs my recommendation would be to ask a local installer or hotels what equipment they have in use. To try a 3m and see at the end that it won't bring you the wished results would be very annoying. Sorry, that's all i can tell you about my friend. Maybe anybody else here can say more ? [/QUOTE]
