Thats good that the birdview was done with the feed legs cause it takes alot of time, an measuring to do it, an if any 1 has a birdview with the standard 6 leg set up you can gain a lot more signal by doing that mod. all that i have done with the feed mod is about 1 1/2 inches farther out from its orginal location. Always have like Birdview dishes, they are very well built, an their motor drive set up is built better than any other satellite H to H mounts that i have ever seen (their built like a tank). the only thing that they lack is a offset adjustment to fine tune the declination, but all of them have did they are right on, an down here where i am at it is a 4.1 degree offset. So you will enjoy that dish when you get it going Rainman, they play ku real good.
