You might want to post this under the hardware section. No highjacking of posts. To your question though. I am not familiar with this dish...sorry

what sats are you trying to get with it? Is is a 4 lnb dish? The large eliptical dishes are very good at producing a good quality but when they are multi-lnb they can be a bit of a pain to dial in. If you are getting this dish in order to receive several sats on a single dish, then I might suggest to MAKE SURE that the lnb's are all DUAL lnb's, this will allow you to use a multi-switch instead of a diseqc switch. The multi-switch will allow you to hook that dish up to as many STB's as you can get. A diseqc switch will only give you one tuner per switch. Also make sure to see the material the dish is made out of. If it is metal your ok, but some are plastic and that is a preferance. All I can say beyond that is as always.......DO YOUR RESEARCH! It will help you make the best decisions without wasting money. Good luck to you.

I just googled the dish you are talking about. There isn't any information or reviews that I could find. Just a picture and a price. This is basically what I tried a few months ago. I found a person on fleabay that was selling brackets to allow you to mount 6 LNB's on a DTV Phase III dish. I bought everything and followed the directions that were included. I could never get over 2 sats lines up at the same time. I spent quite some time one week with it and the results were not good. It is your call on what to do as this is just my experience with this type of set up.
Listen to BG and research all you can before parting with your money. With the switches and LNB's I have more in this set up then I do in the motorizes one I am setting up.
On a side note....looks like the post was moved by someone
Good luck,
BigBee
