[QUOTE="xerxes, post: 23391, member: 176073"] Skimming through "Infosat" (the rather densely written German Sat-Mag) I see there are several adverts for 0.3 db Invacom twins, for about €55. Gibertini 100 dishes seem to be priced at about €65 and upwards. The cheapest I've seen them is on eBay.de, for €55 + €9 postage - new. Ebay had also got quite an interesting selection of multifeed holders, from €12 to €20. With the biggest, they claimed you could receive signals from 28.2° E to 5° W with an 85cm dish. Looked a bit frail though. Is there anything to watch out for when mounting a fairly large multi-feed holder, or is it really as easy as it looks? Talking about mounting things, I'm wondering how to mount a 100 cm dish on the side of my balcony, which is made of wood, and runs right round the house. It would be nice if I could use the same 30 mm fitting as my 85 cm dish, but should I be going for something stronger? My wife seems to think I should go the extra mile, to prevent the dish from crashing down on her whilst she's partaking of the traditional "Kaffee und Küchen" (coffee and cake) in the garden. If I am to pander to her every whim I can imagine it might be better to attach the dish to a sort of mini-mast, fixed top and bottom to the balcony with the fixing points being about 60 cms apart.
