I'm interested in Ku, but feel free to share both; I'll post C-band results as well.

C: Winegard Quadstar 10 footer (Easy to assemble, 4 main pieces and a mount, unlike a KTA that comes in a million pieces)
Ku: GeosatPro 90 cm => availability seems to be a big factor for me.

Cosmo Blatz fred555 Have you found the 90cm more difficult to point than something a little smaller, like 76cm?

 

[Magic Static]

KU= Winegard 2076 (76cm)
C-Band = 10' Channel Master (quad perforated) Can't find the model number. I lost the info in a computer crash
on an AJAK H180 mount

 

[migold]

Geosat Pro 90 cm.

 

[N6BY]

C-Band = Birdview 8.5' solid
KU = Birdview 8.5' solid

Have not really noticed or paid attention between aiming the two.
Bigger is always better they say.

C-Band = Channel Master Model 6346 10 foot fiberglass SMC
KU = Channel Master Type 120 with Model 6033 Polar mount

 

[Comptech]

Unimesh 12XL and a 1.2 meter fortec Ku. I don't miss much!

Ku - Channel Master 1.2 meter (only because I have 2) but it's too heavy to motorize. (needs a polar mnt)
2nd place to the CM 30 inch. (also have 2) 1 motorized by the BUD.
C - my all steel USS 10 ft mesh. (hail has been like dandruff to it)

 

[pdiddy]

10ft channel master,ajak mount c-band, (4) 1.2 meter Andrews fiberglass for ku band

 

[Cham]

Channelmaster and Andrews, both bands. Can't go wrong.
Only problem is they are heavy.

I got my Ku dishes from either Sadoun Satellite Sales or WS International. As far as who manufactured these dishes, haven't the slightest idea, but they work well for me.

For consumer grade the wineguard 1m is a nice dish, light enough to run on a motor. Channel masters are a step up but to heavy for a motor, they are dime a dozen it seems. For a super nice commercial dish my prodelin 1.8m is the best made dish I've ever owned, it's mind blowing how well built this thing is.
