    Not recommended - November 10, 2008

    Purchased this antenna for remote camping at fairgrounds. With the assistance of a cable installation person, I finally was able to get a signal, but learned that local channels weren't available with the L and B supplied. He recommended a tripod and dish with a current L and B that provided all the stations and it cost less than this item. Disappointing.

    The hardest part is getting it positioned correctly. Had a bit of trouble at first, but then when I realized how important the level is, it came right in. My only observation is that I wish the elevation degree markings were a bit more accurate. They are in 5degree increments and the positioning called for 41.5degrees. I would recommend this product.

    Maybe someone who has this dish 9046 can help us. We took it with us to Nebraska were from Co and worked for 2 days trying to get reception and nothing. We entered the zip code and nothing. At home it worked great in our driveway we were very disappointed in it. Don't know what to do now. Al ot of money for something that we could not get a picture on. Pam
