Hello folks,
Thanks for the help with the boresight issue, as the dishes went in fine in my semi-private front yard. 6 foot dishes work great out here, picking up Panamsat 8 (which will be moved over to NSS 5 when I receive the Powervu decoder from the Exchange with a circular feed LNB) and Asiasat 3S. I've included a few photos. I imagine I'll receive a few snickers given the equipment is Chinese but it seems relatively well made and my picture quality is awesome (particularly compared to the local cable company...). The receiver is labeled "Chietta" and seems quite similar to the Fortec Star brand, maybe the veterans here can look at my screen pics and give some input, probably clones... The LNB's are labeled "PBI", the model number being a "Turbo 1200", I believe they are 17 degree units. The dishes are the same ones being sold by Sadoun (180cm) and seem relatively sturdy, not the same as a 7.5 foot SAMI, but if you pay for the shipping out here in Guam I'll gladly take one...
