I'm using a Traxis DBS-3500, with an old Sierra III doing the dish moving (7 1/2 ft. True Focus), polarity control & LNB power. I use a Sony VL-600 learning remote to control both. Takes a bit of button pushing to scan around but the overall setup is very inexpensive & apparently the Traxis is the best at blind scanning. The dish is a bit small for C-band but with the more powerful satellites in place now the only problem is adjacent-satellite interference, which I only seem to have a bit of on AMC-7. Bob
