[QUOTE="Rd100, post: 257881"] Fortec star 1.8m dish Ain't that bad after all, I have been reading over the last few weeks on some sat forums in the U.S.A and middle east that these cheap fortec star dishes are good, So as they where only £99 in mapin i though i would have ago as i would easy spend more then £100 on a night out any way, I did not have to buy a feedhorn as i had a few prime focus dish horn's hanging about, I put the dish together and put the feedhorn and invacom c120 lnb on it then Put my signal meter on it, Then i found nilesat and get all the horizontal transponder fine again now the signal is about the same as it was on my andrews 1.8m dish i got rid of a few months back, This goes to show as long as you put the dish together so it's in shape and and use the correct feedhorn and make sure the focal point is correct the dish will work fine on ku-band, Now i can watch all my showtime channels again on nilesat, I think the reson why some people on other forums have said this dish is c*ap is that they did not use the correct prime focus ku-band feedhorn and did not have a clue how to put the dish together so it is in the right shape and had no signal meter or spectrum Analyzer to set the focal point up and dish up, I have now ordered a C-band LNB-F so i can playabout with c-band here is the lnbf i have ordered _http://www.dmsiusa.com/images/bsc421a.jpg And you can also see the 1.8m fortec star in action on c-band in this link on page 42 _http://www.tele-satellite.net/magazine/TELE-satellite-0607-eng.pdf And the dish _http://www.fortecstar.com/estore/storefront/default.asp?ProductID=15&CategoryID=8 When i get a new digi cam i will post some pics up [/QUOTE]
