Nope! It's rock-solid, and very useful for packing away/moving

The arm snaps back into position very positively, and I love them to bits.

Did I mention you were a masochist?

starting to egret my decision now a bit

, what can I say in defence, uummm oh the Maplin one is bigger :clap:

Dont worry about it madrat - you are obviously well on the way to being a complete sat nut, so you will be needing more dishes in the near future...

If the missus objects just tell her the lads on the forum said it was ok

LOL, I'm only pulling your leg. I'm sure it'll get the job done. It's not a beauty competition after all

you should have bought a gibertini or triax dish as there was plenty on ebay but you take your chance

madrat · 24-05-07, 10:03 PM

Well you ain't going to see it anyway, it's going behind a wall on top of a flat roof (if that makes any seance

) and the only people that will see it will be the neighbours if they look out the landing window so I'm not botherd. I used to be a sat nut when it was all analogue, had 80cm dish with 2 lnb set up at my mothers one on Astra other on hotbird, and would sometimes swing it about to see what was out their, I could reach it easy out of my bedroom window, but when it all went digital I lost interest it all became to complicated and when I got married an moved to where I live now I coulnd reach the dish without a ladder.

I have started a claim with paypal over the other dish by the way.

Its a Lidl kit, I have the 60cm one and have no problems with it I only use for FTA 28e, the LNB does look a bit clumsy/heavy

I can understand you been a little cheesed off - regardless of the price.

All his advertised dishes are the same photo, and it is a little misleading that the item location is shown as West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Didn't realise that we were united with Germany :

Note the brick red aluminium one. (Think I need an eye test)

Well after starting procedure with Paypal he emailed me, he is going to realist the item and when it is sold I will post it and he will then refund me.

Maplin dish came today and I am very impressed,

even comes with wall/floor mounting :clap:

BGonaSTICK · 25-05-07, 11:56 PM

LOL - he will sell it to someone in Germany, you'll have to post it, he won't refund you the massive postage fees, and the buyer won't get the dish he's expecting and mail it back to you!

:roflmao:

I do hope not, but you can just see it happening.

Glad you like your FS dish. Hopefully a happy ending is in sight.

I sorted my mobile phone dispute out today too, so all's well that ends well. Whatever that means?!
