Check for Next YE 2000 SUPER HDTV - cheapest HD DVB-S2 receiver with PVR and HDMI outputs so far (here it costs about $220).

Russian site speaks about D21A MINI, not plain D21A. And regarding the vodka bottle shape like one, it is that zinwell, but fitted with russian "innovation design" feedhorn, to allow better reception of CIRCULAR polarised C band signal on offset dishes. So I think it will be unusable in U.S. anyway.

found it, but doesn't allowed to post link here site is www digisat ru/index php?productID=187 just insert dots instead of spaces. Zinwell D-21A C-Band mini

In fact, I also never seen that brand of LNB on sale, just read about it on some russian forum - they praise it to be smallest C band LNB, so easy to fit to modern offset dishes. And their photos show a bit different product -it's back part is square, not round. Now I'm trying to find that...

Check for "Zinwell" brand C band LNB.

Thanks for reply! do you had a chance to compare this setup in Ku band to some other dish? I mean, for example, how it performs against plain 120cm offset dish? Well regarding of local C band dishes, most of dishes are solid ones. Just cheaper ones are segment, while expensive ones - made from...

Hello everyone from other end of the planet! I looked a lot in internet, and found that, very very few people use large dishes recently, since everyone switched to cable or high power ku satellites, where's 60cm is enough in all cases. I found your site still dealing with large dishes. I have...
