This dish works to receive single satellite non-HD DirecTV. I put it up myself using simple tools. It took about one and a half hours including finding and tweaking signal on the satellite. (The Sony receiver I have has a
function for aiming the dish, and I presume all sat receivers have this. It is simple.) Works great.
We have been using this for a couple of years now. It works fine. I would have given it 5 stars except that it came with no directions for hooking it up. We did finally figure it out by trial and error. But it does work like it is supposed to. I seem to remember that shipping was quite high on it too.
