[QUOTE="aadham, post: 30108, member: 175437"] Hi geoffreys Ever since the end of nineties large dishes have vanished from the local market and smaller Taiwanese (Jonsa) and -recently- locally made (just trash) dominated the market. The exception is the Paraclipse Hydro 2.4m. Larger dishes (usually mesh) were priced between $4000-$6000. Those were usually Orbitrons Paraclipses or Perfect Tens. Above Hydro series currently costs $700+ in addition to installation costs. Old large mesh dishes can still be seen on rooftops in Amman, but many are suffering from missing few panels, or are warped or rusty. I've been trying -for about a year- to get me a solid dish that is larger than 1.8m to no avail. Apart from expensive Hydros, none exists. This is why I resorted to local sat shops to get me a larger dish even if it were mesh. I've come across three or four options in the last couple of months until I got this one. I'll have a word with the guy who got me this one, and see if there any similar catches, and I'll let you know of the details then. Good luck Ayman [/QUOTE]
