[QUOTE="RustySpoons, post: 1073399, member: 412012"] I've got a Maxview 66E dish here, which is approx 80x60cm, I've always been fond of these as they have a folding arm and an unusual shape. AFAIK these used to be sold with a Sky type LNB that clipped in to the feed arm, but later models came with a standard 40mm LNB bracket and a "Generic Universal LNB" mine came with a basic Inverto Red Classic. What got me thinking was the shape of the dish, the Sky Zone1/2 dishes have a scalar ring optimised for the dish shape, however the Sky dishes (most I've seen) are not actually completely an oval shape, i'd say they are more of a stretched 3 lobed epitrochoid/reuleaux triangle This is perfectly oval and a different shape to the Sky dishes. I wonder why they used an oval dish for these and I'm trying to work out what LNB would be optimal for its use to take advantage of the unusual shape. I recall Raven made something a few years ago that was a similar shape. I'm also curious to who actually manufactured these. The Maxview "Round" dishes always used to be Triax TD's with folding arms. Pictures attached of Dish (LNB on it is one I'm messing around with for Es'Hail) the supplied LNB is in another picture.
