    LOL, thanks for the good wish... and i think the kids have something planned for when i get home this evening, cake, candles, etc. No, It's probably not worth it but these Prodelin distributors in Germany don't seem to know what they're selling, plus they go by what's in the next container...

    I see.., but tell me is that feed oficially speced for 10.7 GHz up (since the operating range of the dish is 10.95 to 12.75) ? and - i'm a pest i know - Couldn't I just remove the dual pol fitting from the back of the feed horn (on the 1183-035) and plug the Invacom there?

    CH you're in the know. I'm having a hard time getting a response on this from the Prodelin reps. I got a quote with the following description but the guy doesn't seem to know what 'Dual Pol' means exactly: Part #: 1183-035 Description: 1.8 M KU-BAND ANTENNA * Rx only * Az/El * Canister Style *...

    Something i forgot to mention.. The Prodelin guy mentioned that customers often have their own NPMs' made up (either by themselves or at a iron works). That might be cheaper. One can get a spec. off the TPG site.

    Few interesting things, If you havn't bought the Invacom C120 flange LNB yet this company in Koln are selling through ebay at only 59 Euro. I bought from them before and the equipment was perfect. Also I got this name and email from Barry Watson (Prodelin Europe) for a German rep. Mr. Marc...

    What's up there

    Thanks for pointing that out PaulR. I racked my brain over that Prime thing before I decided to write it in. I could have sworn that we had it along with BBC 3 an 4 but I must have been wrong.

    Hello Ron, This is going to be a bit long but I'm in the mood - It's Friday and Rolfw, I know it's all been said in bits and pieces elsewhere already but I hope this kind of pulls it together for Ron? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron, To begin with...

    So what's up there?

    Hi, Start with this and decide on which sat to tune in to. It's true there is very little in English on sats other than the Astra2A/B/D set. When you read the above for 28.2, skip those at the beginning that have the 2D beam since you are not able to receive them, unfortunately that beam is aso...
