Default New dish is total C##p

New dish arrived today and is nothing like it picture.

It supposed to be gray with the LNB arm coming from underneath it, well its beige with the LNB arm coming through the bottom of it, it very cheeplooking and the bit at the back that the dish and mounting fits to is made of plastic they have a 14 day return policy thankfully. Will be going for the Triax TD64 from Satellite Superstore I think.

Which one did you order and which one do you think you got?

Where did you buy it from?

The humble Triax is cheap and cheerful, but it gets the job done and it's pretty tough.

Dont worry about the plastic fittings on the back of the dish - my 1m Orbital dish has them as well, and its rock solid

Hi m8,if its going to cost £45 to send back 2 germany,just put down to a bad by.For a start its more than the dish is worth,some you win here some you lose.you should be ok to use that dish on 19 east i think.As for the £45 if your not happy put it in getting another dish from a shop in the uk.Your not be the only one to get a bad deal from ebay.Sorry to here on your bad luck,but you wont be the last 2 do this.
