Quali-TV. I just wanted to get up and running so I used that receiver for those particular satellites. I now use the toroidal for G-10 and others. I use a satcruiser for my purposes now. The QualiTV is too important for HD feeds.
Okay maybe 5 and a half minutes. I was surpised how easy and quickly I had it tuned to the arc. I was receiving the nimiq birds(82-91) and the Echo birds(110-119) with a signal in the 90's on my particular receiver.
I didnt think the Toroidal was bad at all. I had mine tuned in less than 5 minutes after I put it on the the pole. To me putting it together was the hardest part. After that everything else was a breeze.
