Maplins Foldaway Camping 12v Satellite Dish

[BlueStringPudding]

My Maplins satellite dish blew away in Pitstone! Not a happy bunny. The clamp and reciever etc stayed attached to the boat but the black plastic dish blew away one breezy night never to be seen again. It's been fine for three years but decided to abandon me in Pitstone.

 

I've contacted Maplins and they don't do any spare parts for it. And on Ebay they're going for £30+ and I only paid £50 for the whole ruddy thing. Anyone got a dish they don't want please? I love the fact that it folds away into a little case so ideally to get one the same make that fits the clamp would be great. But any dish is better than none!

 

Thanks

Is it any good, as my aerial is playing up. I tried the Aldi one, but with no instructions and nothing actually fitting I couldn't put it together...

I'm pleased to announce that thanks to the lovely Saltysplash and family, I have television once again. Just in time for all the joyous Christmas televisual nonsense. So far I've watched Wallace and Grommet, some kids dinosaur prorgamme and now Gremlins. It's great!
