[QUOTE="kitschcamp, post: 628796, member: 243047"] Basically, in my honest opinion, yes. The FortecStar is a steaming pile of whatnot. I live just across the water in Skåne, and when I moved here I bought a 2.4m FortecStar. Biggest mistake I ever made. The 2.4m dish only just worked after spending a fortune on installers, different LNBs, different mounts, different feed horns, etc. By only just, I mean a slight rainstorm killed BBC etc... Then one strong wind came six months later, and buckled it so it was useless. A huge huge waste of money. The 1.8m ASC/Andrews/Channel Master dish, however, is a different story. Despite being .6m smaller than the 2.4m Fortec Star, it's in a completely different league and works fantastically even in bad weather. Aligning it and setting up is a piece of cake compared to the Fortec Star, also. Don't waste your money trying to improve the Fortec Star, it's never going to be great. Save up, and get something decent. I made that mistake, and I don't want anyone else to make the same mistake. [/QUOTE]
