If I was seriously looking for a satellite system package I would consider the above to be a fair deal. The picture was definitely a late model Channel Master dish. Don't know how far you are from Penacook NH but it might be worth investigating. (I think it's a tiny town so it wouldn't take long to search ... or just a good excuse to see some lovely country viewscape )
