They probably aren't at the moment, many of these things take years to reach the market, there are of course similar type dishes already available. :)

thanks Rolf.

Would you say that they are as efficient, in terms of reception, as say a 1m or 90cm Triax dish?

other mates - Anybody has used these?

Cheers.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

I have an Attisat FL500 FPA (Flat Panel Antenna) and in my opinion the FL500 is about as good as a 60-70cm dish, but it is a lot smaller than a dish...

Do you receive hispasat loud and clear in your area (I presume Lancashire) with your flat satellite dish?

Thanks for the feedback - compact and powerful dishes seem to be the future - will check these on Ebay.

I did, on Cuatro (the only Analogue channel on hispa) there were a few sparklies which were the same as my 60CM dish, hence why I said it's as good as a 60cm, but for satellites aimed nearer to the UK they'd be pretty good...
