Apparently in the database transition, things got hosed. The dish I wrote about was the triple-LNB system, NOT the dual-LNB, but there's no way I can see to fix the problem....

It turns out it requires a lot more precision to actually get things to line up. Had I locked the rotation into place, I am 100% certain I never would have been able to get a signal from all three satellites.

That said, I wrote this review about two years ago. It was just published today because I just got around to confirming the account. The jury-rigged dish is still holding together just fine with the replacement bolts.
