Please note there are two Portuguese manufacturers producing satellite dishes for the reception of BBC, ITV, CHANNEL 4, CHANNEL 5, SKY, etc. in Spain, one of the manufacturers ‘Marrafa’ produce economy grade satellite dishes and the other manufacturer ‘Famaval’ who produce professional grade satellite dishes and are known throughout the industry for having a much higher gain and a stronger robust build than any other dish on the market, listed below are some considerations before you purchase either an economy or professional grade satellite dish

* Economy satellite dishes have a much thinner dish skin than the Famaval professional grade dishes and tend to distort and warp in high winds causing picture break up or total loss of picture

* Famaval professional grade dishes have a much higher gain and have a much thicker dish skin making them stronger and more robust

* Famaval professional grade dishes carry a full 5 year guarantee against any warp or distortion.

WARNING

Certain satellite companies are wrongly trying to pass off the economy grade dishes as the “Famaval” professional grade dishes, if any company tries to sell you a satellite dish by saying that this dish is ‘special gain’ or ‘superior’ or ‘multi-gain’ or ‘high performance’ or ‘super duper’ ALWAYS DEMAND to see the dish manufacturers website to compare the dish specification against the “Famaval” range of dishes. Please note all genuine “Famaval” dishes have a small logo ‘FAMAVAL’ printed on the face of the dish to differentiate between the two. If the satellite company will not offer the dish manufacturers website to you the dish you are thinking of buying will almost certainly be the much cheaper economy grade Portuguese dish.
