Faval 1m Dish vs TD88

[sambhi92]

Hey guys,

Gonna buy a new dish this week, and just been looking about, has anyone had exp with a Faval 1m dish here it is if you havent seen it 1m Hi-Gain Satellite Dish & Pole Mount Fittings 100cm | eBay.

Isit better than a TD88, Can only get a TD88 as my motor cannot move a TD1.1 and i cant buy a new motor, but some people say TD88 are better than some 1m dishes, can anyone canfirm that the TD88 is better than the Faval one?

Will use Inverto Black ultra 0.2db LNB.

Cheers guys

td88 or you could look at the Orbital 1m steel or they do an ali - a decent dish often overlooked.

What motor is it & where are you roughly..

[sambhi92]

It's a TM2100 mate. Not to sure what the max dish size I cN put on it, nobody seems to know!

But you think the TD88 is better than the faval? Looking A gibby aswell, but not sure if motor can move it.

Also based it east London mate.

"Hi sat" import gibertini and they do a 1 metre dish but its ?90 + delivery.
according to the instructions for an old TM2100a it can drive up to 1.2 dishes I"ve had a 1mt steel dish on it ok but wouldnt want to go any bigger.(its not so much the weight as the wind factor)

[sambhi92]

Cheers mate.

I think 90 is abit to much, i know you get what you pay for but I don't think I can stretch that much.

I think I may go for a faval dish as it's bigger which should mean I should get better signal.

what sats are you after? do you really need a big dish I"m up near the humber and an 85cm gibertini gets me all I want and the gibertini will beat the faval for quality hands down

[sambhi92]

Well after most really, I'm getting them now, on a 80cm iss mesh dish, which is bent and rusted, but signal is choppy on some sats and on HD channels.

Even the 85cm gibby is alot, surely a TD88 I'd worth getting then ahead of faval?

I"d say so.

carry on saving and get yourself a 1m gibby and a dark motor, if not then a td88 and a tm2600 can be got for less than ?100. trust me m8 if you buy cheap you will buy twice!! regards mdt

[sambhi92]

Cheers guys. Well I've got a bet on now, it's all going well, so touch wood if that pulls through. I'll get me a gibby. If not, I'll just get the TD88.

[digicon]

The Faval dish is probably on a par with the Orbital 1m so still not a bad buy for the money and your TM2100 although plastic gears will still be ok to drive the Faval or the TD88, The Faval may just pull in slightly more signal than the TD88 when setup correctly.

As MDT says if money is no object the a 1m Gibertini and a Dark motor cant be beat i should know i have both.

[sambhi92]

Making this hard guys .

I'm sure both will be ok. I'll just get the faval as to the fact it's bigger v

You can get a 1m Gibertini from most German retailers for 90 euro delivered,thats just under ?75
Blows the Faval out of the water .
