iF im right or wrong this threat was past history smile 2004. I believe at least 2.3mesh dish is far better then other levels.<br /><br />I have 2 satellite dishes.. One is a 2.4mesh dish but strong frame and was bought in 2000. While the new dish i recently got is very very light and could easily break if not too carefully but allways coution when hail apears in summer times and it is a 2.3mesh dish. Was told these days know in 2006 the 2.3mesh dish is very good and people buy them, But your could correct me if that isn't true.<br /><br />I believe larger dish will just make no differents either it is a 2.3mesh dish but perhaps its just signal strenth differents but you get the same packages on each satellites available with a good receiver.<br /><br /><br /><br />regards<br />Pascual
