hi am considering buying a tubular sat antenna for use instead of dish any info appreciated .john.
I'd never seen one of these before, but just did a quick search, seems they are actually EASIER to align, but don't give that strong a signal.At a guess, I would say it would be a pig to set up each time you move site.
It would probably be fine for a permanent installation on a house.
Remember, the smaller the dish (or aperture) the more critical the alignment on a satellite becomes.
