Big Dish Recommendations: Are there any, anymore?

[News]

We have had pretty good luck with the perfect 10 Satellite antennas. We did
use Orbitrons before and they don't seem to hold up the the wind Like
Perfect 10 we normally sell Orbitrons only by request. AS far as the H to H
mount be careful because the motor manufacturer went out of business and We
had a hard time getting parts. So if it breaks you are stuck. That's
provided that someone has one in stock.

I'm using the www.samidish.com SC10 without any problems
using a polar mount. Holds up to the wind gusts very well.

How about the picture quality/performance? What type of receiver are
you using and how does the dish compare with other dishes you may have
used. Thanks for the help.

Do you have any info as to where on the web I can find specs for
Perfect 10 dishes. The Perfect 10 web site I found is difficult to
navigate and seems to only have small dish products. (I could be
looking at the wrong site even..)

Also I visited http://orbitsat.com and did not find any info on
Perfect 10 dishes. Thanks for the help.

P.S. I thought I had read somewhere that Von Weise manufactured the
actuator for the Orbitron Traxsat H to H mount. If they do, are you
saying that they too have gone out of business? Thanks again.

SAMI made pretty good dish, the picture quality is quite well, can stand
gusty wind compare with other brands. SC 10 use 24" mount and come in 4
pieces and is easy to install. If you are in a location with mostly
strong wind and gusty, a 36" mount is recommended.
