I also ordered one. Using a 4 foot dish and am wondering where your located, about. I'm in the wilds of of Minnesota. Using a 4 footer leaves us a bit short on dish and I'm wondering if others do better or?? Have an old 10 foot dish but decided to try the little one and see what we get. Our off air T.V. is poor at best and we get no digital, suspect come June were at the end of off air.

Check out this thread. I believe Ice is also in MN and he seemed to have real good results.

I live in the Boston area. As Robby said, Iceberg's review says it all. I will be using mine on a 1.2m (4ft) dish too.

That is the Plan. I already have a DG380 Motor and I just got my DMX741U delivered late this evening by the USPS..... As soon as I get a chance, I will do the setup.

I think you'll be happy with the setup. A motorized miniBUD is becoming a very popular setup to receive C band on not such a huge dish.

You can also pick some C band up on a 36 inch - 90cm satellite dish.

A Conical Scalar Ring will help with the C band reception both on a 90cm satellite dish or a 120cm 48 inch dish.

me and my 39" dish did not fair so good. im at 50.9 N and it seems like i had to sacrafice ku performance for linear. it also seemd i was bottoming out the conical scalar on the 65mm bracket to lock any cband. i did see about 10 channels on the arc but nothing was very watchable. it did get me exited to mount this lnb on my 10 ft dish when it get setup. the ku performance was also abit lower then my invacom qph-031. i wish i had a 4ft dish to test but itd be money to get it up here i bet.

happy testing.
