Noooooo Told him it would have to be sold in the UK. I was well impressed with the dish from Maplin, it seams very well made, came with a mounting pole and wall/floor bracket and even the expanding bolts to fit it

I might be able to make a few quid by selling that, as I had already got an L shaped galvanised one, from the same bloke that sold me the cr@p dish

It dose seam to be OK though.

Well I sold the dish on ebay for £12.80, but the bugger doesn't want it now >

Just waiting till the 15th so I can report him as a non payer :spite:

Bu99er that for £12, Stick it the local paper for a tenner. It'll be gone in a couple of days.

Well I might just stick it in the loft, I got a full refund from the seller. Still going to report the Buyer to Ebay.

I'm just going to put my two penneth in aswell mate, IMHO it doesn't matter what the dish looks like its what it performs like that matters, its a case of don't judge a book by its cover

I notice that your in Leicestershire. Wizzard Satellite are doing some cracking deals at the moment you know, why don't you pop down to them and have a look round if your after some new kit.

I've only had a few things off them but they do seem ok to deal with

Seems like everything has worked out peachy for you getting a free dish and your money back you lucky bugger

I'm all sorted now, got a fortec star dish from maplin and quad lemon LNB from wizard, The first dish would have been OK I suppose but I paid £22 for it, it wasn't as described or pictured so thats why I kicked off about it, the bit that holds the dish to the mounting bracket was plastic

The bracket that holds my 90cm dish to the mount is plastic and thats rock solid. Its quite commen now for that bit to be plastic. TBH its constructed better than the metal bracket made out of wriggley tin that was on my 80cm dish

I'll bear that in mind next time I look for a new dish.

But it was miss sold to me and I wasn't putting up with that >
