Hi Rob, Any specific reason why you went with that model? A cheap used FTA receiver (DVB-S) will do. Biggest problem for receiving will not be the receiver, or dish or LNB/downconverter. Biggest problem will be the Yaesu G5400 and 5500 not being accurate enough. That eliminates most of the current satellite/ISS users unless they have a ProSistel or Spid rotor setup ($$$).
