The mesh is not common woven window screen - it is expanded metal screen - like that used on other dishes. As for quality, we all know there are better (and worse) out there so I won't even get into that.One of the issues I see with the tek2000 is the mesh. They are using common woven window screen for the fabric. This is weak and will not hold up as good as expanded metal screen. Also a poor choice for Ku reception. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and these dishes are cheap.
