Ebay Sweetness

[snathanb]

Just picked up a 36" direcway duo complete setup on Ebay Sunday for $5! Shipping was $35, and was described as USPS parcel post, with 7-9 days shipping time.

However, the seller shipped it DHL ground and I got it today at noon, about 36 hours after I won the bid!

Sweet!

I've got my 14 old out digging the hole to pole mount it right now...(I'm on crutches, recent foot surgery....). I'm going to use it as a dedicated G10 dish.

Actually, it's 3 inches narrower, and quite a bit lighter than my other dway white dish (this one is grey), so I may make it the motorized setup and point my 1 meter one at G10

Is the Directway Duo the one where you receive from the satellite but transmit through the phone lines? I wonder how much that service is?

 

[PSB]

Yes, it was for a one way satellite internet service. The Duo part was a DirecTV/DBS LNBF that was placed to the left or right of the main KU LNBF (depending on your location in the country). So one dish would work for both internet and DirecTV.

I used the one way service through AOL, but they discontinued the service.

Nice Find!
