@obnelly.Nice job my brother.From my assessment the size of that monster should be in the range of 4.5m-6m.

Problem with Blexxonmak is his hidden prices. State your dish prices for all to see.

That guy charged me 450k for a 4.0M dish, didn't bother bargaining.

Na lie o. you must bargain!
I tell one of my potential client this price, the guy ask me one question, I no fit answer. Here is the question:
If I buy the dish for 450k hope I go pack my load go stay on top the dish?
Guys, I just shut up dey shine eyes like who mess for bus. Lol!

@Phillfree.We are talking about highly rugged and environmental proven designs here-not enamel plate or gbam gbam.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 6:09pm On Aug 02, 2015
As a matter of fact 450k for a high quality and superior grade 4m dish antenna is a very good bargain.

Features:

-High parabolic accuracy for excellent gain

-Heavy Duty AZ-EL or Polar mount

-Easy assembly & maintenance

-High wind loading capacity

-Highly rugged design & environmentally proven

-Choice of either quadrapod, monopole, tripod or kingpost antenna stand

I rest my case.

Is it in the process of dish tracking or you're using it for an already tracked dish.Let the house know,before any recommendation can be given.Because 4950hd is just like Qsat decoder somehow tricky.

thanks my Oga its have been using before.

And you need foreign dish. Even some of our local fabricators are equally in the mistake of running each others down. The bottom line is. Is foreign manufactured dish not horned from the same mathematical equation of PARABOLA. Is theirs different from our own equation? I am yet to see who has come to say yes. Mine is foreign dish. Therefore i get this sat which the same size of local dish was not able to get. Running others down just for business gain is to me childish. The most scientific study we can do is this. Some of our senior colleagues has 4m or above sizes. The simple answer. At your location. Do you get this sat and tps. And from that we make our conclusions. Instead of doing these wild goose chase. Local dishes are good. If your specification is not up to what your location needs. Increase your dish size and stop blaming local fabricators. 3m foreign made dish can not perform magic and do the work of 4m dish just because it is foreign made. On the issue of local offset dish. I am yet to see one. Even our brother East African sat forum. They are yet to have a local fabricator of any form of satellite even though offset dish is a satellite dish of choice among them.

The truth is foreign dishes perform better than local ones. To be equal in size, the local one has to go bigger. What I mean is this a 3m foreign Dish will perform like some 4m local dishes.
Someone with a 2.6m foreign Dish is getting some ku tps more than my local 3m Dish. Also I notice the cband in this my local Dish is as powerful as the foreign 2.6m dish

If the geometry is wrong their is no way you can get perfect alignment to the satellites with any dish
Yes we use the same parabolic equation but in our designs and construction we fail to take note of things that can aid poor signal performance.
Precision is the key word to get things right.
Local or foreign fabricator without precision nothing will work.
Its a step at time we need to encourage our local fabricators and give them rooms for improvement.
