Can you do Ku on a mesh? Sure I am just like many are BUT if you are buying from scratch a new system that you want to use for both I still hold with a solid dish.

My last dish at a previous residence that was far away so the dish stayed was a 10' solid and I loved it. I have been marginally satisfied with my 8.5' mesh.

Sorry Bill just a die hard solid fan here. I simply have not found a mesh that compares. I am currently putting in another 8.5' mesh for dedicated circular C Band and most likely will convert the other mesh for just the same thing once I replace with a spun alum (one piece) solid dish. At that point the small Ku dish will most likely just fade away into the sunset
