You mean to tell me that this Buccaneer Communications installer who installs FTA and Dish didn't just replace the lnbf for one that works and charge you a reasonable replacement price? If he didn't replace the lnbf, then how the heck can he be positive that the lnbf is bad?

My thoughts are:
1) The guy is not a true FTA satellite installer (Buccaneer satellite?? come on!)
2) The guy probably didn't realize that he needed to use different settings on his bird dog for a universal lnbf (since he probably doesn't use em)
3) The guy is a hack - if he's badmouthing someone who sells satellite equipment and badmouthing their products .. but not even accomplishing the goal of getting you up and running.. that's a sure sign that the guy was out of his league and trying to pass off his inadequacies by blaming someone else. Why didn't someone who is a FTA installer bring the necessary parts with him to get the job done? (not having a spare lnbf?? YIKES, I have a handful of different lnb and lnbf configurations sitting in the corner of my office just incase the need comes up... and I'm not charging anyone for any installation services!)
4) The mount is fine. I've done several like that, never had a problem. Maybe this guy is used to something else.. that doesn't make what you have automatically crap. You should only need to aim once, so the most important part of a mount would be it's ability to stay put so that you don't have to re-aim after a big wind - hence the nice teeth. (The link you sent really didn't show me anything special)
5) Everyone always blames the lnb when things don't work. I've never EVER heard of a bad LNB out of the box. Anytime that I suspect a bad lnb, I replace it with a spare to make sure (only once was it the lnb.. outta tons of times.. and it was an old lnb, past its prime)
