One of responsibilities I feel I have as owner of SatelliteGuys is to protect our members from scams and fraud. We have no sponsors here, the only people that I am here to protect are my members.
Sometimes it might make me look like a prick and I am ok with that. It may be that I am a prick at times that we are the most trusted satellite site in North America, and it may be the reason why we are also the largest. I also know when I go into prick mode it turns some people off as well, but in the end I am just looking out for the best interests of my members.
If you have been following SatelliteGuys for awhile you will know my gut feelings are normally correct. In fact I don't think my feelings have ever been wrong. I don't have a problem expressing my feeling of why I think something is rotten in Denmark.
Now on to Mr. Rooney, his credibility is ZERO. It seems to me his sole purpose here is to promote this dish. Besides the pooly doctored photos he posted. (I haven't seen poor photos like that since the 80's.) he fails to address the fact he is using an anonymous proxy service to access SatelliteGuys, and the fact that his email address is a burner email address, which is a disposable one time use email address just so he could register here. And the fact that 80% of his posts are about this dish... well it all sounds fishy to me and I hope it does you as well.
Now lets even take a look at some of the statement that have come out of Tek2000, I recall reading one that they are making these dishes in Canada. Yet thanks to some detective work it appears the dish is made is China and can be purchased from the maker for as low as $50 per dish if you buy in lots of 500. At $50 a dish I can only wonder what the quality truly is. We had another member post what appear to be real pictures of a Tek2000 dish which he acquired, quickly looking over them I was both excited and concerned at the same time. Granted when I looked at them it was before 6am. I was excited because it appeared to be real yet concerned because in my quick look I saw a few issues with that dish that had me concerned... although I must admit for the price it may be overreaction. I would love for those who are experts in mesh C Band dish's take a good look at the pics and see if you find anything that concerns you about it. I am not going to post what I saw in my quick glance early this morning so if one of the experts posts something and it matches what I thought I saw then I know I am not crazy.
As I said before I want this to be real... The site is SatelliteGuys. I want to tell my members looking for a new C Band dish then go here! But I can only do that when I feel comfortable in doing that With everything posted above you can see why I can only recommend to my users at the moment to hold on to your money. That is my duty to my members. Trust is earned, and over the past 10+ years of SatelliteGuys I believe i have earned that trust from a majority of my members.
