First off, the specs:
BigSAT Digital KU-Band LNBF 'Universal Twin'
Model: BS-202
Input
Low Band: 10.7 ~ 11.7 GHz
High Band: 11.7 ~ 12.75 GHz
L.O. Frequency
Low Band: 9.75 GHz
High Band: 10.6 GHz
Output
Low Band: 950 ~ 1950 MHz
High Band: 1100 ~ 2150 Mhz
Noise Figure High/Low Band: 0.3 dB ( Typical )
Conversion Gain
50 dB ( Minimum )
Band Switching
Low Band: 0 KHz
High Band: 22 Khz
It is pretty much your standard fare universal LNBF except for the low 0.3 NF rating. The neck is the standard 40mm size. The body of the LNBF collapes to expose the F connectors. Once they are connected, the cover slides back down protecting the connections from the elements. I thought this was a neat alternative to the rubber boots. The LNBF comes Boxed in a fairly heavy cardboard box which the ebay seller I bought it from wrapped in paper and tape and shipped to me just like that. While there was no packing material at all in the box to make the LNB's ride any more pleasant, it arrived in good condition from Austria to Phoenix, AZ.
This is my first and as of right now 'only' Ku LNBF so I don't have anything to compare it to. It has worked out great for me paired with my 36" x 26" Primestar dish.
I picked this LNBF up mostly due to the good price. Even with International shipping and the Euro --> US conversion It cost me about $34 to my door from SATKiwi on ebay. The LNB arrived within a week of the end of the ebay auction!
Strengths:
Inexpensive if you catch the non buy-it-now auction.
0.3 NF
Popular in Europe
Fast Shipping from the ebay seller.
The Twin version has a cool slide cover for the f-connectors.
Weaknesses:
Ships from overseas (mine took about a week)
No warranty Implied or Expressed (other than Voiding the warranty warning sticker on the LNB itself).
No spec / test sheet like the Invacom has.

I'm not sure. It's tough to compare unless you have the same reciever etc. I seem to get REALLY good quality from G10R as compared to most people on here. G10R is also really high in the sky for me so it may not be a fair comparison 
. I do see 58w (PAS9) though 148w (Echo 1/2) without issue. I don't get that Virgin Islands NBC off AMC 4 though.
<edit>Just wanted to add - $34 was for a Twin one - the singles are a bit cheaper - like $25 when it's all said and done.</edit>
<edit2>I'll pick up an Invacom one of these days.</edit2>

Invacom Ha !! I have tested the Invacom range and have found the low band no better than any low priced 0.6-0.7 db LNB high band is a little tighter but noway 0.3
I have used the Bigsat range for about 2 years as the neck length allows the use of a multi LNB holder where as the Interstar ranges neck is to short.
YES IM THE SAME SATKIWI

Which may be fine in Aus/EU where the low band is used.
99% of the programming over here is on high band (11.70-12.75GHz)
Edit: There's a good reason the Invacom are slightly more expensive and popular, their build quality and performance reports have spread via word of mouth and via reviews, before this thread I never heard of BigSat.
I'm not decrying the Bigsat LNBs as I've never even seen one but you can't knock the Invacoms.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.
