[QUOTE="pocster2, post: 54134, member: 181979"] It is a mesh dish as opposed to solid. I personally dont think it has anything to do with wind. I think they are less visible when bolted to a wall, you can still see some of the building behind it. Also use slightly less metal than a solid dish so maybe some cost savings in manufacturing? In terms of performance there is no difference as the wavelength of the satellite signals is bigger than the holes. You used to get (maybe still can) C Band dishes with bigger holes that were no good for Ku Band as the holes were too big and did affect performance. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
