1.0 out of 5 stars
A waste of money-just republished manufacturer sheets,
By A Customer
This review is from: Digital Satellite Services: Installation and Maintenance (Hardcover)
Chock-full of worthless promotional drivel, the author has the temerity to not only copy manufacturer spec sheets, but to copy them multiple times. Grab some DSS promo literature at the local Radio Shack... it'll be more up to date and free.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not a too much technical literature,
By FABIO FLOSI (São Paulo , Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Digital Satellite Services: Installation and Maintenance (Hardcover)
When I decided to purchase this book , I was looking for a technical one , where I could learn about system characteristics , how does it work , installation , maintenance , etc. Chapter 6 , for example , has a lot of menu descriptions .Chapter 8 has around 40 pages describing DSS available programing.Those information are more suitable for the owner manual . This book is not updated , it mentions service providers that don't exist any more.Repeated information appears in different chapters .

Out of date info,
By
This review is from: Digital Satellite Services: Installation and Maintenance (Hardcover)
I should have paid attention to the date of publication as there was no info on triple-head multi-satellite LNB dish reflectors. The book has some useful information but mostly, it is a hodge-podge of fact sheets and PR photos from manufacturers. Not worth the money.
