None standard satellite dishes?

Anyone any experience of this kind of device? http://www.digicams-uk.com/prod235.htm

I can't mount a dish on the building, but might be able to use something like a hidden dish on the patio, so any input and experience would be apreciated.

See no reason it wouldn't work, Is the LNB interchangeable? I'm guessing standard only comes with 1 output. Would you be able to position it facing in the correct direction? Would a normal dish on a patio mount not be a cheaper, albeit unattractive option?.

It looks like my patio is perfect for the direction, unfortunately its the apearance of a dish that is objected to, so i cant use a normal dish and patio mount.

Aslong as your patio is S.E facing you'll be fine with that dish, then. Although, i've never used them so can't vouch for them but i see no technical reason for them not to work. Worth checking to see you can securely fasten it in place though, because if it gets knocked even slightly or blown around with the wind it'll knock your signal off. This is, assuming the digicube is a replacement for a normal zone 1 dish and you're in an area where zone 1 is the appropriate dish size.

Theres always transparent dishes!


Or a normal Sky minidish will work through a window/patio doors aslong as you can get the correct angle.

Thanks for the info, everything i read on using a dish through a window says it wont work well?
