Best Dish Freesat

Discodog · 2023-07-17 22:35:24

My old dish is rusting. What's the best option to ensure that I don't get any breakup in the rain & quality construction rustproof etc. I know that 60 cm is recommended but would I be better with an 80 cm dish?

70 cm/80cm fibreglass dish, I installed one in Miltown Malbay, on the west coast of Clare a few years ago. I took it down late last year as it was no longer required, still in great condition.
They're more expensive than a standard metal dish but worth it in coastal areas or if you want a rust free dish on the house.
Not forgetting a proper galvanized mount and bolts.
