Finally got it installed (Guam!!!)...

<div class="bbWrapper">Hello folks,<br /> 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&#039;ve included a few photos. I imagine I&#039;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 &quot;Chietta&quot; 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&#039;s are labeled &quot;PBI&quot;, the model number being a &quot;Turbo 1200&quot;, 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&#039;ll gladly take one...<br /> Garry</div>

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>great setup</b><br /> <br /> Congrats on your setup, Looks good. the fixed position dishes look like they are well made and the mounting legs are interesting. I saw one those 1.8 Meter dishes on a satellite dealer website but it was badged &quot;fortec star&quot; . Your LNBF&#039;s look like dms international asc-421&#039;s just by looking. I am sure this stuff is named all different kinds of names for different markets. Your signals look good too.<br /> <br /> it would also be great if you could do a KU dish.

<div class="bbWrapper">beautiful job, looks great :-D</div>

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Update on system...</b><br /> <br /> Yes, I think the LNBF&#039;s are the exact same item as the ASC-421&#039;s (for the fellow who asked earlier, there is no polorotor). I believe the dish could be installed on a polar mount (no reason why not) and hopefully Sadoun will carry the mount soon (it does exist, at least on JONSA&#039;s website) as my first act would be to order one and set it up (I&#039;d imagine a polar mount could be fabricated for the dish with little trouble). I live in military housing and almost no one is aware of being able to do this, so I&#039;m already being hounded with questions, particularly given the feeds we can receive off NSS 5 for the AFN network. One thing I have noticed, while the receiver does have a &quot;search&quot; feature, it does not seem to have &quot;blind scan&quot; as described for the Coolsat, Fortec Star, etc. so a new receiver with that function may be in order shortly. As I was not sure if the dishes would work in my front yard, I used bricks and 2x4 sections to secure them temporarily until I pour the bases from a couple of bags of concrete.<br /> Garry</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">That exactly what I want but on a polar mount they have a 6 footer P1806P which would be perfect</div>
