Any ideas as to the manufacturer of this dish? Looks non-flat though that may be lens distortion, also has an integrated LNB or cover which may be a clue:

The building I assume is residential, the only other photo shows the foot of the pole, mounted in a narrow yard.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

It's an Invacom 845, I've not seen the LNB shroud before since they are only on the RX only version

Thanks. If it wasn't lockdown I'd have bought it just for the pole & elbow. Located in Sydenham SE26 £25:

Hmm, the seller claims a 'huge' satellite dish, I may have been wrong.


Sydenham, long way from you as well.

The LNB cover & Az/El look correct. An occasional long run does the stinky diesel a world of good, also could've got one of the obligatory annual family visits out of the way at the same time :lol:
