Fortec 90cm dish

[MrMylesG]

Anyone have a Fortec 90cm dish? If so, how would you rate the quality, say to a Winegard dish of the same size? I'm looking to get one to compliment my 76cm Winegard. Any info would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have a 80 cm Fortec and it is very good. The only thing I do not like is that the elevetaion scale is a little off. I spent more time than needed setting up a motorized setup because of that.

Fortec Dish

Thanks! I saw a 90cm Fortec dish for a good price (under $70), but I think I will wait a while before I buy it now.

Thanks for the quick reply.

See the following link for dish comparison:

Have in mind that lots of the cheaper dishes are made from a thin metal sheet that is easier to bend compared to winegard's dish for example.
The Winegard is very solid and made with very good quality. They also make 1m (39") dish size if you want to go bigger.
The price difference isn't too bad among different antennas so buy a quality antenna, spending 20-30 bucks more will save you lots of headache.
