Hi guys

Could not find much on chinese sat dishes here, are the any good?

uncle offered one 27 quid, any good for a cheap setup?


110cm solid offset
Pole mount / mast diameter 38-70mm
Offset angle: 23.6 degrees
Gain @ 10.7-11.7 GHz dbi: 38.7

or just cheapo rubbish - anyone used a chinese made one before?

I am fitting it this weekend, but before he buys it, I said to him, let me check if they are any good.

Oh Non branded, which was expected

cheers V

I think you meant Triax but as the question was about a Chinese dish, maybe you were right??

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I'm sure with the correct adjustments it will perform more than adequately.

Great pic

cheers guys
end up getting 2 of them for 2 of my unclues - I guess at 25 each brand new - worth a punt and see how it goes from there.

Both came with all the fixings and mount for the wall.

I cant complain at that price.

now next two weeks is sat weekend as this weekend was a washout.

I will keep you posted and pics soon.

Could you take some photos and post them here so we can see what they're like both before and after installation?
