[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 133284, member: 193607"] The biggest pitfall is the dish, which is probably the worst 2.4m you can buy. The location you are heading for is right in the middle of Spain's reception 'black hole' and is the most difficult in the country. The FortecStar are very difficult to set up, have no instructions, and are poorly finished. Mine gave abysmal results here in Madrid. I suspect even when they are correctly done they have a gain equivalent to a good 1.5m offset. There is someone who says he is getting reasonable results with this dish in the same area near Valencia. You can see the discussion on the Astra2D forum: http://astra2d.proboards31.com/index.cgi?board=Reception&action=display&thread=1115457879&page=1 [/QUOTE]
