Thats a great looking set up their m8

So how does a Gregorian dish perform when compared to a prime focus or offset dish?

Off the top of my head I can't recall many (actually, any) forum members with one of these dishes so it would be interesting to hear how they perform

Hi kev,iv taked with friends in the past on these dishes.Thay said thay could get upto 15% more signel on 1 of these.I can only go by what i was told,the piggie back will improve signel.Likvid can say by how much as he has one.

It does perform like a good 110cm Offset dish, thanks to the excellent cross polarization performance i can really bring the weak Astra 2D with this dish in Sweden.

I would say it performs about 4% better than a Triax TDA110 which is 105cm in reality and not 110cm.

Right now i got the Inverto White Tech C120 LNB which makes me bring in Nilesat at 7W which i could not receive with any other LNBs i've tried.

As a side note for anyone interested in buying these dishes i have sold these all over the world to friends and such and i have actually one original packed brand new Fibo left with fixmount which you can mount any Diseqc motor you like.

If you are interested in buying that dish you can PM me, i have shipped all the way to Tokyo, so it would not be a problem to the UK with DHL as courier.

They stopped production around 1995 i beleive when the Norweigan company went under.

I also have the 55cm version of the Fibo which i will install later.
