thanks digi i went into his shop in london and he was telling me its ?390 for the 1.5m which is a little cheaper than gibbertinii's own 1.5 not much but a little, but thanks for the info

he also sells the poles for mounting the dishes ?6/metre peeps on the forum are always looking for poles

This is just my own personal opinion for the 1.25 or even the Gibertini 1.5m which you can get cheaper if you look around than his quoted price of ?390, I would not mount any of these 2 on less than a 3" x 5mm thick Galvanised pole which i can only source for around ?30+Vat a meter and they only come in 2m and 3m lenghs.

I doubt a pole Costing ?6 for a meter would last very long with the weight of these dishes, You should be looking at industrial Scaffold pole at minimum

That's a good price digi but i am not thinking about a dish that big i have a 1m orbital or a 90cm fibo when the weather is better was going to try a fixed dish to 7 west to pick up the fta movie channels or i hope to pick them up with one of my dishes from Coventry area,is that possible?

If i went to that size dish i think i would be mounting it on the ground

The 1.25m one in your location will give you plenty of Channels from 7? west especially if its Fixed
