Sure will, I'll probably order next weekend after going thru all the reviews and consulting with Iceberg and Pete...

I see that this is a good deal from all the posts. But I'm wondering if there are any differences between FTA receivers..

I'm reading through the FTA forum for answers..

thanks, k

can this receive c-band?

 

[Mr Tony]

C & KU Band

I am impressed with the price on that. $155 is not bad at all. I thought I was going to have to cough up double-that.

As Iceberg said "yes it can, C & KU Band", but you will need a C-band dish to get the C-band with.

I should be getting mine sometime this week. I think I'm going to upgrade to the Winegard 1 meter dish though.

My Coolsat 5000 was delivered today, and I ordered it on August 24!!! Very secure packaging. Superfast shipping. So far, I'm impressed with SatelliteAV.

Hmmm tempted to get one but I will need the rest of the parts to get going, only problems I see are a line of site issue requires a 250 foot run out into a right of way for high power lines and burried utility pipes wich hasnt seen a brush hog yet this summer ( translates into 7 foot tall weeds ) and how quickly do I want to move out of my families house.

Thanks again SatelliteAV, got my 1st order today with 2 Coolsats, 2 1.2m dishes, a Geo CK1 lnb, and the C-band mount. Now waiting for my 2nd order with the 2 GS120 motors and 2 more Coolsats.

Hey Al, you know you don't need 4 receivers to have quadraphonic sound ....

Well, as a sidekick, I like to find out things on my own. You'd be surprized how many times, I've found out that people actually know what they are talking about, then again, maybe you wouldn't?

I know what you mean. I was just kidding about the "4 receivers". It sounds like you're going to have an awesome set-up!

 

[voomvoom]

Well actually, these are for my sister getting 1 dish w/2 receivers and my niece getting 1 dish w/2 receivers. And, I'm keeping the Geo C/K lnb for myself to play around with. If it works good enough for C-band, I may get 2 more, one for each of these 2 dishes I just purchased.

Edit: and I noticed these dishes are larger on the surface area than my current 1.2m dish. They are about 4" taller and about a half inch wider.

My 2nd order just arrived from SatelliteAV, thanks again guys. Now I have some work to do, just wish it wasn't so hot.

Got mine yesterday. When I finally got my dish, realigned today, it's working AWESOME! Thanks a million SatelliteAV. Will definately buy from again soon!

 

[dfergie]

Finally dried out enough, I've got mine working with my 8' mesh Bud on C-Band on G4 ... ( had it on IA-5 before) might just move my 10' dish there and leave it...

Hey Dfergie!

What did you end up ordering?
