Hi,
I want to get StarChoice setup in Dallas/TX. I have a DSR530 (activated, etc) and want to get HD and be able to record/watch at the same time (i.e. dual feeds).
If anyone has the 75e QuadLNB dish to sell (if you're in the US) please contact me directly. I also very much welcome advice of others regarding my options.
I'm also a little worried about the SC Quad used for 75, I've heard here and there that people have had the Quads fail on them, the housing cracks, etc...this happened to anyone?
Below are the options I found scouring this forum and Google:
1. Get 75e QuadLNBF from KuSat (Canada). Shipping is $90+ and UPS charges $30+. Not the best deal.
2. Get 75e Quad from Canamsatellite (US). Don't know how much shipping is, has anyone dealt with them before?
3. Get the 75e dish from Sadoun (GlobeCast Elliptical Dish and LNBF Oval Channel Master 75E)
and replace LNBF with a Quad from someone else (KuSat?). $99 for Dish alone, +shipping, +new QuadLNBF...
4. Get two dishes from Mike/Global with dual-LNBF outputs, use two 22kHz tone switches to hook to ONE dual-tuner reciever. Kind of complicated, but maybe more reliable?
5. Get DSS/Dish dishes, replace LNBs with linear/Ku LNBs, add 2x22kHz switch, etc. Note: I have an ONE old DirectTV dish, but still want HD & SD == need one more dish, LNBs and switch.
Again, I welcome all comments! Thanks!!
