    Is there such a thing as a long life satellite dish that will last without rusting to bits after a couple of years? I wouldn't mind spending 3 or 4 times the cost of a standard one knowing I wouldn't need to replace it for a long time.

    You will need a seperate wall mount and a good Quad lnb
    If you can, Get a wall mount made From Stainless steel

    You can go far wrong with any Triax made dish...all very robust and excellently made in my opinion...and if your near the sea their fiberglass td70 is a great alternative...much better than the visiosat range.

    I buy steel 80cm. Satellite dishes and aluminium wall brackets on ebay from a german suppplier http://stores.ebay.de/eurosat24de .
    all metal construction with only the satellite holder in plastic. VERY ROBUST with a high quality paint finish, and with a total price of around 40 euros DELIVERED!!!! including the wall bracket and GOOD QUALITY LNB.... i think this is a very GOOD DEAL. BTW. they also sell aluminium Dishes and loads of other stuff!!!
    Cheers
