pedro2000uk said:Satkitten.. Have you tried 26e and MBC2 on that yet? The acid test for that dish I think.. (although it might be a bit unpredictable at the moment with BADR6 coming on line). We used to get it on a Lydle 80cm in central UK on a TM1000- no real rain fade though.
.. they do look striking....but 26e is a must..:mad:
Satelliteman... what LNBf did you use.. the same one as before or one that came with it?
Anyone.... recommend a really good LNBf match...? should be theirs really.... I think it needs a custom feed horn with scala rings that shape...
We had some (audible) noise problems with certain steal dishes on cheapo 2100's - the dish acted like an amplifier/ speaker... wow...changed them to gen branded motors ...

As a past customer, I would recommend them.
