If he's got the H-H mount and the top of the special 6" pole to put it on, this is a no-brainer.
Birdviews do take a little work to bring back to optimum performance, but they're well documented here on the forum.
A top performer in its size range, and will equal or beat most 10' dishes, when properly tuned.
I agree. I picked up two Birdview dishes from linuxman a couple of years ago when he was selling off his satellite equipment, and the perforated one with H-H motor is working like a champ! I have the solid Birdview dish just parked on 99°W for now. I should probably sell it off, as it has the H-H motor and has been tuned up. Right now, it's not doing all it could be doing.
