This is the DISH Network forum not a forum about dishes you should try the FTA forum for quextions about "C" band dishes.

Mmm,
This is the C-Band area I thought

I don't know where you would find a complete replacement, but if you can just patch what's there, I had good luck with Kwikmesh, which is a flashing that Home Depot sells in rolls. The mesh size and shape was almost identical to that on my dish, and it is springy enough that it molds well to the existing contour. There is a picture of the label on this page: http://www.satelliteguys.us/c-band-satellite-discussion/212074-found-damaged-bud-now-what-2.html

Great looking product. You forgot to mention it is less than $20 for the 12"x25ft roll. ($17.84 here). I may get some to put on a shelf in the garage for future dish patching when needed.

I believe if you go to skyvision.com and look in there catalogue the sell replacment mesh.

Unfortunetly, you can't get factory cut mesh for Paraclipse anymore. But, I checked at some fabrication outfits for replacing my Paraclipse 12 footer mesh but the cost was quite high - not worth it to go that route. If you have the tools and ability you might be able to cut the mesh yourself and save a bunch of money. My solution was to go buy a new 12 foot dish ($2000) - having replacement mesh professionally cut by a local fabrication business would have cost $1500.

Those are mesh sheets that you'll have to cut.

That's not exactly the way the mesh was intended to be installed (on a Paraclipse) but if you can get decent performance with it I'd say give it a try. I might just give that a try to see if I can at least get DVB-S2 performance on C-band.

Good, I think I will will choose the patch way...
Thank you guys for all your replies.

OK, to whom it may concern :
Got EXACTLY the same aluminium mesh with ULLRICH ALUMINIUM (new zealand- closer from my country)
I was a lucky man.

Thanx to all for all your replies.
