Are there any members here that use a Funke dish? If so, what are they like? I saw one in Aldi or Lidl a few years ago in an orange colour and I think it was only about £20 or so. Just asking!;)

I've used them in the past, wasn't particularly impressed though.

Well they're OK, but nothing special, would use a Triax TD range as preference.

Have you got the tracking number for your 1m Gibby yet?

I'm holding off for the moment, Jack. Until I see how high my new brick shed is going to be - then I can decide what I'm going to do :)

I hear what you say Jack. But I know what I'm doing. Trust me :). What if I were to buy a 1m dish to find I couldn't lift the thing up or something? Remember a 1m is not exactly small either. No I'll hold back. Fools rush in and all that! I'll take my time ;).

You'll only end up having the dish up for a few weeks before you decide it's too small and you need a bigger one :-rofl2
