anyone got a force frontier dish?

and if so, where did you get it, how much did it cost and what size? i currently have a sky dish with a quad lnb feeding a 4in 16out switch which feeds the various boxes. i was hoping to replace the dish with the above and also play around with hotbird and astra on 19.2E.

take a look at this thread in the Foreign Satellite forum and maybe ask your question there.

I have a wave frontier dish 90cm. Not using it at the moment as I need to re install it. I bought it from hm-sat. I think it was 125 euro but they are now 109 euro. To be truthful I never really gave it the time to set it up properly as it was difficult because of where I had it mounted. Someday soon I will locate it at ground level on a new wall I have built and give it more time. It does take quite a bit of setting up. I would like to mention a couple of things regarding the Wave frontier I could never get a signal strength or quality much above 70%. Using an old channel master 80 cm dish pointed at Astra1 with 2 offset lnbs I can get 90%+ on Astra2 and hotbird using the same receiver. Although this signal was 70% I had no problem with picture breakup. Another problem I had was trying to use quad or octo lnb's was not a real success as the frame supporting the front deflector got in the way.
I now have a Multibeam Sat.-Antenne Maximum I bought in hm-sat for 79 euro. It was quite simple to set up and once you got the angle right it was just a matter of sliding the Lnb holder along the guide to pick up additional sats with the exception of sirius and thor (they probably need a bigger dish).
