Wondering if you guys would help identify this satellite dish.

Its stock photo as part of the catalogue over at satalogue.com, their description is very vague and only states it as being 100cm in dimension.

Perhaps a Gibertini or Orbital?

*edit*

Found out its an Orbital, how do people rate them?

No it is an Orbital (20 deg variable bracket available), I checked my email minutes after posting this thread and found a reponse from the 'Technical Director' at satalogue.com saying just that, except they don't split packages which is no use to me because I required different LNBs from what they are offering.

All in all think I may go with Gibertini, they look a decent make and supports a variety of different LNB holders also.

That or an 85/88cm Nokia/Triax respectively, they look the business.

Thanks for your replies.

Have a look here http://www.issuk.org/html/dishantennas.htm Saw their dishes at the CAI roadshow and looked well made, not sure if they sell at retail, but worth a look, they also do some good LNB multimounts.

Triax are introducing a 1.2mtr dish to hopefully fill the hole left by the demise of
Channel Master.
The Claims are 42.5db @11.7Ghz &70% eff .

A multi holder is available as a separate package to hold 4 LNbs with min 3deg & max 20 deg apart & fit their 75cm+ dishes.

www.triax.co.uk might be worth a try.

Best of Luck :)

This is not an advert (honest)

Saw the Triax 1.5m i think at the CAI roadshow last week, looks like a nicely made antenna, the earlier 1.1m model I setup seemed to have a good gain, pulled in much of 5E without too much difficulty with an Invacom.

Their "Unique" dish is a cracker for multi LNB setup can be seen here
