Bought it, seems OK.

Haven't tried the dish out yet as I can't get a line to the satellite unless I mount it about 20' in the air Grin

I've still got the old Sky dish fixed to the side of the house, been up for over 20 years, hasn't been used for at least 10 years, plugged the box into the cable, and it downloaded over 150 channels, only Sky news international and BBC world news in English.

It's pointing somewhere about 19 deg east, to an old Astra satellite, but at least the box works.

Dish is too high on the outside wall for me to attempt to reposition. Sad

Kit's good, seems well made.

Think you should get more than that AA, may be your old LNB in limiting the number of channels your getting.
