    I'd say look at two, Gibertini are well engineered and the Fraccaro Penta 85 always seems to get good reviews. Triax are good dishes but I've got a TD88 and I think the poor elevation adjustment lets it down.

    The new range of Technomate dishes are superb imo, tested a 97cm against a 1.1m Triax, just as good imo.

    @ellblud, sponsor Technomate dishes come with LNB and wall bracket, the ones you posted on ebay dont

    In reply to Sonnetpete's comment, I've got two parabols, a 110cm and a 78cm both triax. According to the man in the satellite shop, triax dishes give a good reflective signal and is one of the better makes. Ok, perhaps he would say this but I've found the tv pic very good and can recieve transponders as little as 2% signal strength from weak satellites. The other thing is theres a motor inclination indicator on both sides of the up/down slide so its dead easy setting up if using a motor.
