[QUOTE="OldBen, post: 210064, member: 194242"] I have no comparison, so would bow to Rolf's greater experienced based response, but I get a pretty good signal compared to some posts I was looking at when I was trying to get Czechlink on 23.5E (before it moved to 19.2E). There is another post on the forum somewhere though were someone with a solid dish around the same longditude/latitude as me was getting a signal where I can't so I can't say its identical to a more traditional dish. I think the best "real world" analysis is that I can get all the common stuff, if I was chasing feeds I would have gone for something bigger in the back garden ;-) Remember that its not that hard to appear solid to a 12GHz signal, and the mesh is quite visible at ground level, but once the dish is up it looks really clear. The onyl thing that does make it quite obvious is that it reflects a lot of light when the sun catches it at a certain angle. Also, I am hoping that its not melting the cap on the LNB by focusing the sun on it... still getting a signal at the moment, but it was something I wondered about when I got it! The guy over the road had a 80cm black mesh put up the other week and it looks huge in comparison to mine... even though they are the same size. So I can recommened it on an appearence level ;-) Paul PS Just wanted to add that I did take the pictures, someone did a few pics for me as well at the time of the install but I could not find these when I looked so I took some more - although this will already be obvious if you checked the EXIF data ;) [/QUOTE]
