Hello, any opinions about this 1.8m ? Seller asks 200 £
Thanks
Absolute crap.
Agree with CH, Brian, and VS: Don't bother.
Mechanically it's not very nice - it's really flimsy. And absolutely don't mix with Scandinavian weather.
I had one in 2009. lasted a couple of months, then was thrashed in a fresh breeze one night...
Then I got real, and acquired a Channel Master. Entirely different class of product.
As for reception, I found the 180 to give roughly same peformance as a single-piece 120cm SMC dish.
This is probably mostly due to the difficulty in aligning the petals when assembling the dish.
It may also be due to crappy manufacturing giving badly shaped product, difficult to tell.
And with an f/D of 0.36, not very compatible with the majority of feeds available for (or in universal) Ku LNBs.
It will do C-band, though, as this is not quite as picky. If you were given one (for free), it might be worth experimeting with C-band reception.
In fact, I am fairly certain the dish was designed for C-band reception in e.g. Africa or the far-east.
But it's still not mechanically good.
