yep I have one
Works really well for what I use it for. I wouldnt get it if you plan on subscribing to some C-Band stuff but it works good for the FTA stuff
You may have some interference problems with 2 satellites that are strogn next to each other. As an example, I get the nets on G4 (G16) and a couple stations off IA5 at the same time
I will be using it fo free to air Icberg.The store call me and told me the solid dish would give me 20 percent better reception.This i do not believe.What do you think.I live in arkansas so getting all the satellites not a problem.

EITS Rating:
C/Ku satellite systems are also called PRIME FOCUS ANTENNA systems. This system utilizes two receivers. One, the ORB-7500 analog receiver contains a power supply to send power to the actuator [dish motor] on the satellite dish. The other receiver, the Viewsat 2000 Platinum DVB receiver, is a slave receiver. It receives all of the digital DVB [in the clear] signals that are present on the satellite. This is a wonderful system.
Installation should be performed by a professional or someone that is very knowledgeable and understands that this is an involved process. The dish will need to be installed on a 4-inch OD schedule-40 pipe.
Please do not purchase this system with any intentions of returning it. The freight charges involved make this system a keeper. When purchasing a C/Ku system, one should consider his/her a purchase an investment and a hobby. At Eye In The Sky, we consider it the very most enjoyable hobby we know.
This is what i ordered but they told me i should switch the sami 6ft dish for the FORTEC STAR FS6D polar mount.What do you think?i attached a picture of the sami mesh dish.What do you think
