I was very skeptical at first until it arrived. All pieces are very sturdy. I set it up in my back yard, copied the settings from the Dish connected to my house. Played with the tuner until I was comfortable with it and BAM. I went inside and to my surprise the TV was displaying Law and Order. Crisp clear screen, great sound. Take the time to watch a few(MANY) videos on youtube on tuning your dish. There was not any instructions on how the wires are connected. So here it is. The short 5' cable goes to the LNB. That's the doohicky that connects to the end of the arm, facing the dish. You will connect the SWM(Splitter) between the 5' cable and the long cable to the power inserter which has two cable connections. It's pretty obvious the LNB port is for the long run to the dish, the other marked Signal to IRD goes to the receiver(big box that direcTV rents to you on a monthly basis). It's that simple. Tuning it on the other hand takes an understanding of how the satellites are aligned in the sky and patience with the tuner. ONE BIT OF ADIVCE: Make sure the tripod is PERFECTLY straight up and down (PLUMB) using the level. If not you will have trouble tuning the dish.Read full review

The only problem that I had with setting up the dish was aligning to the satellite. The bubble level that goes in the top of the mast is of little use. I had the bubble in the middle but when I stepped back and looked at it I could see that the mast was not plumb. Rechecked and the bubble still in the middle. I used a small carpenter level to plumb it up. After that it was pretty easy to get set up and aligned using the signal meter from the receiver that is shown on the TV. I can say that it would be somewhat better if this package included an external signal meter for SWM set up. In using the receiver signal meter it does take some running back and forth to get the peak signal adjusted. By the way, this is intended to be constructive criticism and just so you know, I still would recommend this package for people that are interested in setting one up themselves.Read full review

After fighting to get a signal on my mobile cabin with a fixed mast I decided to get a tri pod to gain a better vantage point in the sky. This kit has everything to make this happen, The tri pod is sturdy and the bubble level is irreplaceable. The best part is my customers now don't have to hear me say I can't get a signal because of a tree in the way.

Dish and LNB were fine but tripod was a bit disappointing. The mast pole is sized for old and new size dish mounts which meant it does not seat well in tripod making adjustment and alignment difficult which made it difficult to align dish to get signal. Tried for 2 hours on weekend outing to get signal no results. Plan on Improvising by mounting dish on a 2" pole to confirm LNB is working, then switching out package pole with my 2" pole cut down to mast size hope to try it with tripod to fix issues before going mobile again.

Got here in 5 days. Easy to set up. Learning to get dish to pick up the satellite was not explained in the direction very well. However called and was told how to.
