Dish upgrade advice

My dish has lost signal strength with all the bad weather these past few months and I need someone to adjust it. At the same time is it worth upgrading from a TM 97cm dish to a 1m Gibertini? Would this dish give a noticeable increase in performance on regular feeds I use?

I have this TM dish and it doesn't perform as well as a 90cm Triax. Very flimsy in the wind as well.

I would imagine a Gibertini dish of the same size would offer a decent increase in performance.

A channel Master 1.2m would ensure optimum signal quality and solid as a rock. A bit pricey but outdoes my other 1.2m dish hands down.

I have a 1m Gibertini, it is lighter than my old 1m Lenson - Heath dish. The signal strength is about the same and I am pleased with its performance.

would tell you to buy the same dish i have its Laminas OFC 1200 the better thing about this dish is it weights only 3 Kilo and its made of Fibre Glass.

Yes, CM1,2m is one of the best. And it is not necessary to buy it new, even used one after washing will look like new and work like new.

Thanks for the replies.

I would like to have a bigger dish but I cant have anything bigger than 1m at this point.

Anyone with a 1m Gibertini able to comment on its performance in the wind as samoyed says the TM does not perform well in wind?

My 1m Gibertini is installed on a STAB motor. It runs well, tested from 30 west to 42 east. It does jump about in heavy wind, but usually stays aligned. It once moved half a degree, I corrected it by fine tune adjustment from inside the house. Quite happy with it and would buy it again.

Cheers, I'll take the plunge on it next month or early April when the weathers calmed down.
