It is a good package for C-band. It is probably the least expensive way to get C-band anywhere. And, no, it is not an easy setup. It is not as easy as setting up a small Ku dish. You will need a lot of patience and put it together systematically. Have you checked the line of sight of the arc on your property? Also, you will need to mount a good strong 2 1/2" schedule 40 pole in concrete, 3 ft. into the ground.

The 621 is standard, and the 621-2 is universal. I don't know which is required for W5 sat and Skyvision. For a DSR922 receiver, I think the standard is the way to go.
