3.0 out of 5 stars Poor Assembly Instructions - Rude Insulting Company, November 28, 2011

When I received this mobile satellite dish I couldn't assemble it because ALL of the instructions and illustrations did NOT match the LMBF that came with the kit. I tried to contact Satellite Oasis using the telephone number on the shipping box. When I called it a message said that technical support was only available on line. I e-mailed the owner in an effort to get clarification on which terminal to attach the cable to on the LMBF. After a few days I didn't hear back from the owner so I gave up on getting any support. I had to pay a professional satellite installer to show me which terminal to attach the cable to. I complained to the owner about no customer support and bad assembly instructions. In his response to me, he assaulted my intelligence, told me I should have "Googled" him to get a phone number they would answer and went on to insult my name. Very unprofessional response!

In short, the dish works now that I know which of the three terminals to attach the cable to. The owner was unnecessarily rude and insulting to a paying customer. I will never buy from Satellite Oasis again!

The dish arrived within 4 days. Dishnet had sent me a receiver for free. I ordered the dish and installed everything myself with the assistance of Dishnet. The first time I called, the tech support wasn't all that helpful and the instructions were confusing. But once I got the receiver installed and the skew and elevation set, I called back and got a different tech support guy. He was awesome. The dish works fine and I got it sooner than expected. Thanks.
