    I have a 1.15m dish here that needs a home. Note The dish seems to have its centre axis diagonally rather than vertically. I am not sure whether this was intentional or the press was off the day they made it, but I got replacement exactly the same. I could pick up some satellites with my motor. Quote from me a few years ago : got a few satellites tuned in with my 1.15 m dish,(28.2,19,13,7,5 EAST) and (8 ,15,30 WEST).but i cannot get thor 1w or eutelsat 16 east.would a warped dish stop you from getting a few satellites?. i could get all possible satellites with my 80cm lidl dish incl. thor and eutelsat,but i cannot even get a stronger signal on any satellite with this dish

    Maybe the mount at rear is on wrong or for a horizontal arm.

    Any Maker name/model?

    No make/model # as far as I can see. I ordered it from corksat a few years ago who I think were agents for Sab. It actually looks like this smaller Sab dish http://www.sabsatellite.nl/productsdetail.php?prod=521 .

    The one in the link looks remarkably like a Triax.

    I can take this dish from you if you want to give it away.
