[QUOTE="s*t*a*r*m*a*n, post: 1113, member: 175004"] To use an analogy or is it a metaphor? question :) what happens when you pour water into a colander (sive) answer :) the water drains out through the holes and some remains. same thing with signal hitting a satellite dish. Solids are always best for capturing more signal. A solid dish of same size as a mesh dish will collect more signal. Perhaps this is not noticible on say astra 28 east satellite in uk as an example due to the signal being quite good (sky dishes point to this and they are quite small)but you would notice it more on other satellites in the arc and definitly in poor weather conditions :) I had a much larger dish than my triax solid dish i have at the moment. i still receive most channels i did before i reduced the dish size (it fell of the building but thats another story) but i lost alot of eastern channels but not as many as i thought originally, not that i watch that many eastern channels anyway :) [/QUOTE]
