Yep, another one. Bought this from a fellow Sats UK member... And I finally have a full set of Fibo dishes!

In the box, there is a fixed mount along with bits to motorise it. Except that there's no motor.

But look what else I found in the box...

So, come on @RimaNTSS, own up - what did you do with the motor? Actually, don't answer that....

So, what will I use this dish for? Nothing much - I wanted to replace the Sky dish with this one, so it looks more purposeful, but I don't want to pi$$ off my neighbour who already has a nice sight of all my dishes... So, I'll probably put it in the garden for 30W and hide in the bushes somewhere.

Mine is on 28E, works really well especially when we have bad weather.

Of this Fibo? I could... but it'll be the same picture but with a pole on the other end of the dish :)

I would appreciate, but, unfortunately, this is not INOX (INOX pipe could be inside the insulation)..... does not matter, it is not for satellite. But I like the dish! :)

It's aluminium probably... or some alloy.

I've installed same pipe recently, it can not be aluminum as magnet is sticking to it (I attached digital level to check plumpness). Therefore it is not aluminum and not INOX :eek:

I am only sure that inside pipe made of INOX, outer one just shiny but magnet sticks to it IMG_20161021_143120 (Medium).jpg
Maybe your case is different.
