    I've a 1.1M motorised Triax mounted on the side of my house and it bounces around like buggery in the slightest of winds.

    Are you sure its not 78 ie TD 78, this goes together very easily

    I think the TD88 is a very sturdy easy to set up dish. I've got one on a spruce beside the caravan and it gives me 13°e, 19.2°e, 23.5°e and 28.2°e. The Gilbertini is just as good exept the working of the bracket holding the dish.
    And no, the arm is o.k. and you can lead the coax through it.

    You need a different mount. It's not a dish problem.

    I don't have a Triax, I have a Channel Master 80cms. But I have read good reviews of the Triax dishes in "What Satellite" Magazine. I can't see why a dish should move around in the wind provided it has a good mount. Dishes will only move if the mount is not right or if nuts & bolts have come loose. Then again anything will move if Hurricane Katrina & Co. ever rolls into Ireland!

    I wish the channel masters were still around, great solid dish put together in mins.

    I have three Triax dishes,easy to put together I love them and I find them very stable. In general they are virtually rust free, that bit of rust on the dish on the left is a washer I must replace!!!. Sat_20-03-05_1.jpg
