I've known Sadoun for a long while now, and it's a rumor that he caters to hackers. There are many untrue rumors in the industry. I would not pay close attention to most of them. Specially the ones that bad mouth any one particular satellite dealer. I'll be very honest, I'm the owner of WS International (www.wsidigital.com) and Galaxy Marketing ( www.galaxy-marketing.com), so I have no reason to defend Sadoun, considering he is in some ways a competitor, but I've been around the block once or twice to know that when a company or person bad mouths someone else, they usually have something to hide and the only way they can get their point across is by slamming the other company that they are upset about for one reason or another..
Anyway, business aside, as far as a C band dish, we will have the WS1870P, polar mount 6 foot dish, in stock within the next week or so..... The back order price is only $129+shipping and regular price is $185.00+shipping. We also have a FTA system on sale with free shipping that you can see on our home page at www.galaxy-marketing.com.
