The Triax 78 cm is a robust, well-engineered offset satellite dish designed for stable reception of digital satellite television. It is an excellent choice for customers seeking a quality antenna with good signal performance, flexible LNB positioning and a durable construction for long-term outdoor installation.
The basic version is supplied with a holder for one LNB. With a compatible multifeed bracket, additional LNBs and a suitable DiSEqC switch, the dish can also receive several orbital positions, depending on their spacing and the available signal strength at the installation location.
The 78 × 70 cm reflector is manufactured from galvanised steel and protected by a polyester powder coating. This provides a stable, weather-resistant construction suitable for houses, holiday homes and smaller shared satellite systems.
The dish is available in dark grey or brick red, allowing its appearance to be matched to the building façade, roof or surrounding installation.

🎨 Available Colours
Choose between:
The colour does not affect reception performance. Select the finish that best matches the façade, roof or installation location.
🛰️ Reception from One or More Satellites
The basic version is equipped with a holder for one LNB and is therefore intended for one orbital position.
Reception from several satellites requires:
- A compatible multifeed or offset LNB bracket
- One LNB for each orbital position
- A suitable DiSEqC switch
- A satellite receiver supporting DiSEqC
Possible satellite combinations depend on the spacing between orbital positions, signal strength at the installation location and how far each LNB is positioned from the reflector’s main focal point.
🎯 Ideal For
- Houses and holiday homes
- Digital satellite television reception
- Astra 19.2° East
- Hotbird 13° East
- Thor 0.8° West
- Astra 4.8° East
- Single-orbital-position reception
- Multifeed installations using compatible accessories
- Installations where the colour should match the façade or roof
- Users requiring control over LNB positioning
🔧 Installation and Alignment
Install the dish on a stable, vertical mast with a diameter of 32–60 mm. The supplied clamp secures the antenna to the mast or to a suitable wall bracket equipped with a compatible tube.
Align the dish with the required satellite by adjusting its azimuth and elevation. Install the LNB in the holder and fine-tune both the dish direction and the LNB polarisation angle, known as skew, for maximum signal quality.
For multifeed reception, the dish is normally aligned with a central or prioritised satellite. Additional LNBs are positioned away from the main focal point and adjusted individually.
A satellite meter is recommended for the best result. The mast or wall bracket must be completely rigid and vertical for the elevation scale and other adjustments to be accurate.

⚠️ Important Information
- The basic dish is supplied with a holder for one LNB.
- Reception from several satellites requires a compatible multifeed bracket, additional LNBs and normally a DiSEqC switch.
- Possible satellite combinations depend on orbital spacing and signal strength at the installation location.
- An LNB is not included unless expressly specified.
- A wall bracket and mast are not included.
- Confirm the selected colour before ordering.
- The antenna requires an unobstructed line of sight towards the selected satellite.
- The mast or wall bracket must be rigid, correctly anchored and rated for the applicable wind load.
- Roof installations must comply with applicable earthing and equipotential bonding requirements.
- The stated wind load of 619 N applies at the specified test speed and must be considered when selecting the mount and fixings.
- Professional installation and alignment are recommended for multifeed systems.
- Technical changes and minor construction differences may occur.
