[QUOTE="geotux, post: 847021, member: 307648"] Hi, I'm wanting to upgrade my dish/LNB system as the one I have is old and rusty (its the standard eliptical dish they install with Sky). I would like to buy some medium to good quality products but have no experience. I'm also more inclinded to increase the diameter as I suspect some very high trees may be scattering the signal (i cannot move the dish higher). 12 years ago, my brother in Italy bought a Fracarro 80 cm Penta (allumiunium) and says that its good quality and given that it's still going i'm tempted to believe him. I can't seem to find resellers here in the UK and the Fracarro website is not much of help for UK residents. What is the UK equivalent of Fracarro? Also, what really good LNB should I choose? Also, what is a real good quality mounting bracket that I can fix to a vertical pole? I need something that you can setup with samll movements. The traditional cheap brackets dis-align the dish when you losen the bolts ... they are really rubbish ... I don't have a complicated setup. I just want to point to Hotbird 13 and receive the TiVuSat programmes. I live in the Midlands. My digi box is a Topfield box activated for TiVuSat programmes. Any suggestions or recommendations? Many thanks Antonio [/QUOTE]
