[QUOTE="martinr, post: 13691, member: 175356"] Well I'm sorry if you feel offended - no offence was intended, only to correct what I saw as misleading info. I am not actually working on the basis of my own individual experience. I don't usually mention it in forums like this because I don't want to be accused of advertising, but as well as being my great long term hobby, satellite TV is also my business and has been for the last 11 years. I therefore have enormous experience of many different brands of equipment. I have sold and installed many Echostar systems and I have great respect for them, functionally. In my (genuinely extensive) experience I have NEVER had ANY problems with the positioners in ANY Echostars. I have had occassional problems with motor arms and reed switches, but this can hardly be attributed to the receiver. I also know only too well that people often jump to ill-considered opinions about such things and add 2 and 2 to make 5. I am sorry you have not seen the Echonav for yourself before recommending it to others. I can assure you that most people who have find it daunting until they get used to it (assuming they can be bothered). The word-based menus of the 3000 are far more intuitive and easy to use. As to my communications skills - well, maybe I had better revise my description of Echonav to TOTAL shite. Regards martinr [/QUOTE]
