Might prove a better choice. I should have thought about that when I planted my second one They also brought the dish and assembled it onsite. It is a 8.5' mesh dish with C and Ku lnb's that they sold me for $125.00. Talk to Rainman about Corotor and lnb prices. He just purchased both lnbs and a Corotor II.

around these parts if you could fine someone to set it up I would'nt let them i've seen some of the so call professional setups around these parts and most of them ended up face down in the ground a small hole and a bag of cement won't hold a 8 ft dish. the co rotor ran me about a 150 dollars and the 2 lnb's which were norsats ran around a 250 dollars.
