Looks good. Think I will go for it, a nice project for me.
Do They Still Make Fibo dishes?

Wasn't something like that sold under the Phillips brand-name in the 1990's?
That's funny. It has its secondary mirror (and LNB ) upside down as compared to the picture of @Trust1 in post #10.
BTW: Visiosat is the old name for Cahors, IIRC.

That is one of my favorite topics! I have 5 dual-reflector dishes installed (one is not visible on the picture) 
You can see 55-90-120 cm Gregorian dishes.
But I had some experiments in the past with Gregorian-Frankensteins, yes it was 1.8m Prodelin
and also 1.2m Channel Master 
. Will do more job like this in the future.

2-way internet, that is for sure.

Could possibly be because landline internet & or/3G coverage of that location is very poor and Railtrack needs a fast secure comm link to the (probably automated) signal box.
Got a few smaller ones around here, on betting shops and the like, and one on a chemists shop (for betting on how long the patients will live after they take the prescriptions, maybe
)

Yes, I would assume it's for Railtrack comms, but the box near me, has decent 4G coverage, and the is manned.Could possibly be because landline internet & or/3G coverage of that location is very poor and Railtrack needs a fast secure comm link to the (probably automated) signal box.

Certainly the one in my picture is a manned signal box ... but mobile phone coverage will be poor or even non existent - up beyond Ribblehead.
I would ask the signalman what the exact usage of the dish setup is , but he is always tucked away inside his box - whenever i,v been out waking near there ....

Knock on the door, smile and wish him (0r her) Happy Christmas, and then ask him what the dish is for

Took a walk up Ribblehead today (not been up there for about a year) ....
The dual reflector Visiosat dish (post 20) has been replaced by a " Tooway " ... had a good look around but could not see the Visiosat discarded anywhere nearby

Is Blea Moor box due for closing soon? Judging that it needs a coat of paint.
