I do get a lot of complains about rain fade on the mk3 dish, so i'm guessing its just to try and combat that :toke:

Only for new Installations and refurbishments (where necessary), and when stock levels permit.

No retrofitting!

Yes SHS are fitting Mk4 dishes for new installations.

With the correct matched LNb, these really do perform well on other satellites. Zone 2 types also.

Had trouble getting MK3's lately anyway, the MK4's are much better,less assembly and thr LNB fits on more rigidly. Didn't notice the size difference though I must admit, and I put one up today for Hotbird, right above a sky dish.

Robbo, depends on what Mk3 your comparing it to. Some have slightly different sized dish faces.
