- 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...

Channel Hopper said:Manufacturers can advertise exactly what they like unfortunately (E and OE etc.), the rules only come in if the product itself has the markings stamped on them.
Councils on the other hand will be interested if your 80cm dish was slightly more than 90cm in one direction, and would ask you to take it down.
Offset dish manufacturers use wider than high to improve adjacent satellite rejection, as 2 degree spacing for signal when using smaller dish sizes is no longer guaranteed.
Bit of a swizz really, and I'm sure Trade Descriptions would like to have a nosy into it...
As for the Council, don't forget that you can have a 1M dish and a 60CM dish, so I'd be ok if I had my 2 mesh dishes (80 & 60) out on the wall of a house, and if they complain, I'd point them to their own legislations...
So smaller round dishes can receive other "nearby" satellites if they were in the right place then?
