Hi Vin Blanc.

                    Thanks for that, but did Arcon not produce both the 57cm and the 43cm Cassegrain design antenna, whilst Zehnder just branded it.

Have you been using your 57cm Multi down in the South of France since the satellite changes back in February this year, and what have your results been like.

I wish someone would manufacture an 80cm Cassegrain antenna, as I now have to take a 1m Gibertini Dish for use in Frejus, which thankfully worked fine for all the Freesat channels this last fortnight.

The problem I guess is that the market for  80cm Cassegrain dish is quite small, as most of Europe folk can get there satellite TV with just a 60cm dish almost anywere they go in Europe.

So I would say that there is still a big market for the Arcon (Zehnder) Sweety at just 43cm, both for use for Freesat in the UK and for other folk in Europe who want there French/German/Dutch/Spanish etc satellite TV.
