Satellite AV Sample of the Week ends 10.12.2009

Every week, SatelliteAV will be giving away a sample product to a SatelliteGuy. The weekly prize will be awarded to a member who has posted to this thread during the previous week. The theme of the current entry requirement will be posted along with the sample information.

The receivers are manufacturing samples that have been provided by a manufacturer for testing or approval. Satellite AV has a ton of equipment to give away!

Important Notice: Satellite AV will attempt to provide as much information about the sample item, but we will not respond to questions regarding the product specifications or provide product support. Please do not PM or request product support from our sales or support team members. Failure to comply with this request will result in the termination of this contest. Please understand that instead of recycling these items, Satellite AV will offer SatelliteGuys hobbyists some pretty interesting stuff that may or may not ever be on the market!

The winner will be responsible for shipping cost and we will ship anywhere on your dime! All packages will be shipped by USPS or FedEx. If the winner wishes not to claim the prize or does not respond to our SatelliteGuys post and PM notification and provide shipping and payment information within 5 business days, the prize will be forfeited and the unit will be offered again in a future post.

This contest is open to any SatelliteGuys member in good standing with the exception of Satellite AV staff and members of their families. A random drawing will be made from the qualifying entries by a member of our staff after the closing of the drawing.

The signal meter sounds great, like my old Buzz. Count me in with 10 lnbf's . I'd love to have it for outside dish work.
:) [I notice it supports "weak up and sleep". That's pretty much how I get up in the morning. We're a good match.
 
lol......... How many LNB's I have in my collection?
Well, Being a Satellite installer for over 12 years now I have so many box's of LNB's in my garage. Everything from old Starbands, fta, Dish n directs.... I would have to estimate around 300?......

I just did a job today for Globecast at a apartment building, The apartment manager asked me to remove all the dish's in the vacant apartments and gave me $20 for each removal. There were 12 apartments in total. It was a good day! :)

So I guess I have 312 now....lol

Would love to test that! WOW!... great Sample of the week contest!

Yea but I only have 2 FTA KU Receivers!.....
I'm going to print out my lnbf reply and take it to a Catholic Church and have a Priest bless it then take it to a Buddhist Monk and have him chant a blessing so I will win this awesome contest.
