There seems to be quite a few different dimmensions of sky region 2 dishes available from different manufacturers.

Does anyone know which manufacturer produces the biggest region 2 dish?

As far as i am aware the largest Sky Zone 2 dishes are 63cms and are made by Triax

Not sure why you are bothering though, you would be better off with an 80cm dish for probably less money

A larger dish doesn't always mean better gain. I have had a zone 1 dish which had better gain than a zone 2, it depends how well they are made and like Nanochickin I'm thinking why use a zone 2 dish for anything other that Astra 28. I know you can use it for others but the question is why?
