[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1019642"] Unless your old dish is clearly damaged or out-of-shape, chances are that it still does the job quite well. Main difference will be in the active area of the reflector, where the 1.2 is 44% larger than the 1.0. And that will give you a major boost-up in reception. Also, the "1m" label on many dishes e.g. from Triax is not true diameter of the reflective area, it's more an approximation. (A bit like the HDD manufacturers insisting that 1GB = 1.000.000.000 Bytes rather than 1.024 x 1.024 x 1.024, which memory is measured in.) [/QUOTE]
