[QUOTE="airbourne, post: 1058760, member: 404003"] Hi Moonbase. The receiver I have here is a 5400 CI+ USB. I don't know how good or bad that one is. As far as I know, none of them are good for HD unless its stated on the case somewhere. There are other makes out there as well but I'd sooner I had a recommendation from someone on here rather than spend good money on kit that isn't up to scratch. I've been doing a bit of measuring today on the stand. The three legs are just 18 inches long (46cm) and its a metre high. The top two thirds is 76mm and very thick-walled which makes it a bit top heavy rather than if it were 76mm all the way down. The stands on that well known auction site look to have a larger base on them in relation to the height, and they take four slabs. I was thinking of extending the legs and moving the fixings out further to give the weight of the slabs a bit more of a chance. I suppose I could position the slabs a bit further out and lay extra slabs on top as you have suggested. I've also read on here that by siting the stand in this way it isn't a "fixture" as it were, and is "portable" Not sure an official would see it that way! Steve [/QUOTE]
