80cm Black or Mesh Dish purchase

    Hi lads/ladies

    I'm looking to buy an 80cm black or a mesh dish. Had a look around the online stores but couldn't see any specific reference to black or mesh dishes.

    Has anyone purchased or seen any Irish sites that supply them. I know i could buy a normal one and spray it but i want this option to be my last resort.

    I currently have a 65cm fortec star but want to install a multifeed on 28.5 19.2 and 13. I was going to chance this on the current dish as i'm not too bothered about signal quality on 28.5 but the multiblock holder won't fit a fortec star dish.

    Thanks.

    you need a 78cm solid Triax minimum. If you any distance from South East coast, then a 90/95 Triax (That's width/height not two sizes). In Far West/South West/NorthWest fringes a 110cm Triax.


    Mesh and perforated (probably what you mean) are inferior to solid.

    You can make the dish any colour you like except bright gloss and pure matt black are both bad at spring and autumn.

    Spray, Smooth Hammerite or whatever.

    It doesn't have to be Triax! Other brands are just as good, and better in my opinion!

    No, it doesn't have to be Triax.

    But you want to make sure the arm is strong enough for multiple LNBs and a compatible adaptor for Multiple LNBs exists.

    What it doesn't want to be is flimsy, mesh or perforated.
