I just thought I would let you all know, my son assembled a complete C/Ku-band system last year but the big dish mount came apart during a heavy snowstorm (weld holding a steel pin/rod broke) and during the four or five months the system was working he found he barely used it and his wife didn't like the big dish in the yard, so he's decided to sell all the C-band stuff. He bought the Pansat 2500A new and used it very little, and I am pretty sure he bought the Corotor II Plus feedhorn and the LNB's new, and as far as I know the only thing that was used when he bought it was the GI 450i receiver, but it appeared to work great. He does not say so in the ad but I'm pretty sure the GI 450i does have a descrambler board in it, though it's not subscribed to anything (don't hold me to that, though - if it really matters to you, you should probably ask him about that).
So, if anyone wanted to get into C-band this would be almost everything you need for both analog and digital reception, with the exception of the dish itself, the positioner arm, and the cables to connect it all up. I'm not sure if he plans to list the dish and/or positioner separately as "local pickup only" item(s) or not; if you are anywhere near the Muskegon, Michigan area and could haul away a large fiberglass dish, you could ask him about it. The URL for his auction listing is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32848&item=5787900771&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW To the best of my knowledge this includes a couple of receivers (used analog in what I would call very good condition, and nearly new digital) with remotes, a UHF remote kit for the Pansat (these are relatively expensive!), UHF remote for the GI 450i, a Corotor II Plus feedhorn (this is the wideband model, though to the best of my knowledge the LNB's are not wideband), C and Ku band LNB's, and I think a 4 input DiSEqC Switch and a couple of splitters. Note that if the description on eBay differs from what I've said here, go by what it says on eBay, I'm typing this from memory. The one thing I do know is that last fall the system was getting very good reception on both C and Ku bands. Please don't post questions about this system to me on this group, because anything I tell you just might not be correct - instead, use whatever contact mechanism eBay offers to ask questions of a seller (I haven't personally used eBay in years, so I'm not quite sure how that works, but those of you who use eBay probably do).
