I agree with Mike. Even though they sell this as a "C band dish" it shouldn't be considered as such. It should really be consider more as a Ku dish that might be able to work on some C band singals in portions of the arc where the spacing between C band satellites is more than 2 degrees. For a real C band dish you need at least an 8.5' as that's the minimum size that's 2 degree compliant. Having said that I own 2 of these dishes and one of them I do use to receive a few C band signals on one particular satellite. This particular satellite is located in a portion of the arc where the spacing between C band satellites is greater than 2 degrees. Because of that it works okay for that particular signal. The other one I use fo Ku on another satellite. It's not too bad (but not really great) as a Ku dish. It seems to do a bit better than a 1 meter primestar it replaced but probably would do even better if it wasn't so cheaply constructed and the surface accuracy was better. Bottom line you get what you pay for. So to sum it all up the advantages of this dish are it's cheap, lite weight (thus cheaper to ship), and comes in section (also making it cheaper to ship) and the disadvantages are it's cheap, light weight, comes in sections, and really too small to be considered a real C band dish.
