Fortec Mercury II Receiver

FC180P 6' Dish w/Polar Mount

BSC621-2: C / KU Band LNBF

QARL-3624 Moteck Actuator
V3000 Positioner (GBOX)
One problem though. THe BSC-621-2 isn't compatable with 4DTV on Ku. It will work OK on C-band, but much of the DCII stuff is converting to Ku. If you were going to do 4DTV stuff, you'd be much better off with the BSC-621.
Also, the 4DTV is for subscription stuff. If you are just interested in free DCII stuff, there are cheaper options.
