[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 609492, member: 175144"] It would be, if the site had a vestige of accurate information on it ; NEC 50 Ohm LNB's were mated with a Fergusson mechanical polarotor in the second year of production for use with the new Irte 1.5m dishes, Uniden got round the 1750 MHz tuner issue with a unique dual-band item from the originators of the full band LNB - MTI - before issuing a special mod within the tuner circuit) . And no info on the UST 92 D2MAC unit, the 8008/9/10 or the last integrated unit (which was a monstrocity). and some real treasures on it Anyone seen a Luxor two box infrared motorised system - the first if I recall a Gensat 4/12 integrated receiver ? Palcom 3000/4000/4000 Mk II ? The site owner has also missed the launch of the Benjamin receivers and its badged clones - the first to offer consumers with a cheap a receiver without knobs on the front, and the Cygnus (a rather nice cloned upgrade to the SR4500 including workable on-screen graphics) The site also fails to give credence to the pre Monterey days, the Cheyene was a superb machine which gave all a run for the money, unfortunately shelved owing to (dejavu) a limited channel capacity. Being a Monterey dealer - tranlated - taking the punter for all you could get away with - and having a shedload of Echostar machines (careful you don't plug the SR 6500 into a UK mains supply above 234 volts or short circuit the LNB cable) doesn't mean you know all on the subject of old satellite equipment.
