[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 403721, member: 176379"] Thanks :P Do you still have the Fibo left? if so, could you make a signal comparison to your CM 120cm? A dealer i knew back in the 80's got his first Fibos and he wanted me to come and check the performance as he told me it peforms almost like a 120cm dish, i laughed at him and said it would be impossible. This was back in the old D2-MAC days in 1989. I got to the shop and they had a demo corner with different channels showing from both Eutelsat 13 East and Intelsat 27.5W with Childrens Channel, CNN, ScreenSport etc etc.... Then he showed two TVs showing Childrens Channel on Intelsat 27.5W. The right one was a Prodelin 120cm Offset, the left one was the Fibo 90cm. He told me, can you see any difference? not much i told him, there are some fewer sparklies on the right screen i said. After this he told me what dishes he used and when he told me the left screen was the Fibo i laughed once at him and said it can't be true. Yes it's true he said, the Fibo is almost performing like the Prodelin due to the second subreflector. I was schocked after seeing it. I have not made any shoot-out but i would guess the Fibo 90 performs like a good 110cm Offset, SWE-DISH says the Fibo is performing like a 15% larger dish so that would be the approximate and close to 110cm [/QUOTE]
