Hi

I would like to view some channels on Arabsat 30.5e , like Blue Nile Channel forexampel , I had 90 cm dish the I ugrade to 1 m and I found out at last that Triax TD 110 can get Arabsat 26 E , but can I view 30.5e as well ? and is it better to buy Fortec star or Channel Master 1.2 ? any ideas please ? I have already 2 dishes at home and I wanna get it right this time.

The Channel Master 1.2 is the best of those you mention, more expensive than the other two but worth it.

Hopefully not, but if you are in an exposed location then it may not last too long as DiSEqC motors are better off turning things of less than a metre in diameter.

The Channel Master is a VERY heavy dish.

You can't use your SG-2100 with a Channel Master.
If you have a GOOD 1m dish now you will see an improvement of about 15-20% on your receivers pic-quality meter if you choose the Triax.
Remember that the Triax is not a "true" 110cm.

Can I get all the channels on Arabsat 26e with the Triax any idea?

I would choose a Gibertini 100cm any day.

As said the Triax is not 110cm but maybe around 105cm.

Channel Master is hard to find as they don't exist under that brand anymore, it's Andrew today.

Real price on the Andrew Type120(Channel Master 1.2) is around 170 Euro retail that i pay.

Polar mounts are not manufactured anymore for the Channel Master, you might find old Channel Master stock somewhere.

Otherwise, buy the Jaeger SMR1224.

I get Gibertini OP120 for 99 euro.

Thanks for explanation it's the first time to hear about this dish Gibertini -sorry I'm new to all this- and this is review I found

1 Metre Gibertini dish even performed better than the 1.1 Triax and the 1 Metre High Gain dish we used to sell it's the most popular dish we sell -

I think I will go for thaht
