  • Nice book, but leaves out all the real important info

    I am new to FTA and bought this book in the hopes to getting my system working. Unfortunately the book leaves out the real important technical and programming information. This book is full of fluff about how to install a dish and how the history which is nice, but I had to figure out all the transponder, blind scan, skew and satellite signal finding techniques on my own.

  • Adequate for purpose.

    Provided sufficient details about the ku band satellite tv, the primary focus of book. However did find it helpful.
