I think they're steel..

Stamped steel, not hardly worth the effort, if you have weekly Recycle pick up, put it out your cans, bottles and plastics.

FYI...my old 3lnb dish was plastic and snow stuck to it like glue. I never had a problem with my old steel sony dish, nor do I have snow problems with the new dish.

You can check it with a magnet if it sticks it is most likely steel, if it doesn't stick aluminum.

unobtainium, or possibly adamantium. :lol:

Seriously I think they're aluminum.

where's my Doctor Who addicts?

.. considering the weight, I'd have to say the reflector is at least aluminum where the other parts might be steel or some other metal.

The vast majority of the dishes are stamped steel with a powder-coat finish. The Phase II dish and the Andrew international dish were metal-impregnated fiber glass.
