BSC621-2 C/KU Band LNBF which i think is a joke for ku/cband reception.I already have one on a channel master 1.2 dish and the ku reception is 30 points lower than what get on my invacom QPH031 lnb which is not acceptable.I think i was given the old bate and switch.The fortec 180cm dish they send me looks very cheap compared to the sami 6ft dish.I think i am going to send the whole thing back since i did not receive what i ordered.....

I used to have a SAMI dish, and it was the best dish I've owned, although as with most companies they sell several different grades of dishes, plus the one I owned was a 10' or 11' dish. Some people don't like mesh dishes, but I think that you can get quality mesh dishes just like you can get cheap solid dishes. I think the fact that they switched the corotor for a LNBF answers your first question.
Interesting about the polar mount on the Fortec. I went to the Fortec site, and couldn't find a polar mount version of that dish.
It looks like the original system you tried to order had compatable components, but it looks like what you got isn't compatable with itself. Also note, the orb analog receiver is probably not completely compatable with the BSC621 LNBF either, see recent topics which discuss not being able to reach all Ku transponders due to the 10600 LO freq.
Myself, I would have been much more comfortable with the SAMI/Corotor system than the Fortec/BSC system, not to mention that the SAMI/COROTOR system is probably worth 4 times as much. I hope they charged you a LOT less for the substitute system?
