Does anyone have a Skyvision 8.5 (8.5') Polar High Performance Mesh Dish?How does it perform?I called skyvision and they told me the dish comes in 12 mesh panels.That is alot of panels.The most i ever seen was 6 panels.Do you guys think this is a good dish?
 
Skyvision are a great (MN.) company, sounds like a nice dish!
 
Big thumbs up from me on Skyvision. I have ordered a lot from them in my cband days. And Del the president of Skyvision is good people. :)
 
I'm sure the Skyvision dish is a Orbitron clone. Good dish with excellent wind survivability. I've got a 7' model that has 14 seasons under it's belt with only 5 panels replaced due to a tennisball sized hail in 2000.
 
Unless they still have old stock from Orbitron, chances are it's the KTI-designed CKD-8.5, which SAMI inherited from KTI before they went out of business.
It's pretty good for C-band, but I would not expect miracles on Ku-band, when compared to solid reflectors.
