Is the XP range their better range of Gibertini dishes?

FYI, my current motorised setup of 1.2M Laminas on a Clark Tech USAL's motor works really well. The 1M Gibertini would be a close second if you require a less obtrusive setup.

With my Triax TD115, the arm was hanging 2 cm lower than where the calculated focal point was.
(see, in dutch: Triax TD115 met te korte arm? )
I'm curious if this is the case with other Triax dishes, also...

I found that the performance of my TD88 improved substantially when a spare IKEA plastic spacer from a kitchen unit was inserted under the LNB arm to raise it towards the dish face.

So, the message would indeed be: Measure your dish, and calcultate focal point. Also with 'common' dishes like Triax!
And it is good, that a Triax arm is easily adapted, with just a spacer.

They all have the similar specification but the XP is of better construction Gibertini SRL :: Satellite Antennas and Accessories

Try to buy direct or at least from the continent, you could end up with a right mongrel from 'authorised' UK dealers as some have discovered

FWIW: have a look at the specific Gibertini website dishes page
Gibertini SRL :: Antennas !

That's seems to certainly true - there are a few "examples" of members on this website having bought those "mongrels"!

Or even, carefully, maybe buy a genuine s/h "full spec" Gibby of your choice?

Avoid the bigger Triax dishes - the elevation adjustments are a right pita to fine tune. I have enough problems with them at ground level - gawd only knows how installers cope up a ladder!

With that I can only, with "experience", agree from issues with my dishes at "ground level" - as I hope my earlier posts might have implied

Quite how the Triax's passed their final design Quality Assurance Im not sure - you need 3 arms to get the bloody things adjusted

If you start with four arms there is a fair chance you have enough after one gets amputated in the process of assembly.

After extensive research and listening to opinions I think ill go for the Gibertini XP 1m. I plan to buy it from Digitale Sat-Receiver, Anlagen und Zubehör - hm-sat-shop.de
Anyone from UK purchased from them? They seem like genuine sellers of Gibertini dishes.

Though I'm not in the UK, I've used them on several occasions and the service has been great..

How much of an impact does choosing the right sat receiver have on signal quality, for example a TM 5402 receiver or VU+ receiver? Are there receivers that provide a better lock on sat signal than others, or are there sat receivers that can show picture even on 10% signal quality?

 

[william-1]

The Octagon SX88+ with the 100cm will find & lock onto signals that other receivers cannot with the Blind Scan so is ideal for feeds,
For example:-
21.5 east Flowers Int HD 11237 H 2582
15 west MSNBC SD 12582 H 1300

 

[william-1]

More TV found with the SX88+ that I cannot get on my other receivers (TM5402HD M1 & M3) Spiderbox HD9000 & HD9900 AZBox Premium+ & AZBox Elite,
I think I will throw these in the re-cycle next year as they are well past it now

TVP Polonia 23.5 east 11581 H 2400

Thanks for the useful info. I have read about this sat receiver and will purchase it. I still have my Humax 5400 irci from over 20 years ago and it still works, can i make any use of that? I suppose usals wont work on it.

 

[william-1]

USALS will work on most receivers certainly works on the SX88+ & if I recall it worked OK on my old Humax 5400 IRCI Z.
