[QUOTE="v9oly, post: 437659, member: 252566"] Hi Gary, Not sure on the performance of the transparant dishes but can confirm Rolfs suggetion of the Raven 90, have had one of these for a few years now with no problems (yet!) I would think it may be a bit cheaper too, you would also save mor if you were mounting it to a wall as those floor brackets can get a bit pricey. The Raven also has the option to have a second LNB bracket to use for the (east/west) side your not using.. more lnbs in the future? I have mine set to exactly to the satellites your planning. Not being nosey, but is there a specific reason you have chosen the technomate 77552 VA2CI Receiver? The 1000 series models seem to have much more support/software and (again assuming) a bit cheaper. I wouldnt worry too much with angles at the onset, I concentrated on lining mine to one sat (19e) starting with the fixings loose - meter connected - dish almost flat with slight tilt and just moved it around until I heard a bleep and the tightened fixings a bit more and slowly fine tuned it. When I had a good signal QUALITY (say 80%+) on technomate, tighten bolts up, and position the other lnbs remembering that the lnbs go to the opposit side than they are in the sky. Read the excellent guides and advice on this site before you start, not trying to tell you everything just giving confidence that you can do this job yourself, it's a very satisfying feeling to get those satellites comming in! Good luck, Ollie :) [/QUOTE]
