[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 577382, member: 193607"] Only the third picture shows the correct LNB and feedhorn in use, the others are completely wrong. No real surprise given the number of cowboy 'installers' on the Costas. There's widespread disregard of good practice amongst these guys, who prey on the hapless Brits on the Spanish coasts. They will frequently claim that 'Portugese' dishes are the best for Spain and plant info on forums and the web justifying their crappy methods. Many misguided people intent on DIY buy FortecStar 2.4m from Maplin, local papers or eBay and then wonder why they don't work. The message on the Costas ought to be loud and clear: never buy a FortecStar dish, be highly sceptical about anything on the Maplin website, show the cowboys the door, insist on a decent quality installation (but be prepared to pay for it) [/QUOTE]
