[QUOTE="charly20, post: 274152, member: 192006"] I have a 180cm Jonsa that I bought in Kuwait for 27€ (no joke) and took it back home on the plane with no overcharge. I use it here in Brussels to receive Nilesat. I have compared it against a 150cm Gibertini, and yes with the Jonsa I get a much stronger signal. Yes, it is difficult to set up the dish; it took me weeks - yes weeks - to get it right. It took so long because I played a lot with it and I had to order a flange LNB + feedhorn, something I was a total stranger to, coming from offset. But the fuss was worth it. The dish has a very bad reputation. I believe this is so for 2 reasons: 1. People don't know how to set it up and most likely use a normal LNB. 2. The built quality is poor, but look at the price. What matters are the results: the strength of reception is simply there. Here is picture of mine: [ATTACH]8488[/ATTACH] RTG is a local dealer in Kuwait. [/QUOTE]
