HEY JOHN,

I am glad you have had good luck with Spaun. My friend does hi end home theatre and stopped using them due to failures. Believe it or not he has had much better luck with Eagle Aspen and I don't have to tell you the difference in price. I just bought a new 8way 22khz JVI Trunkline and I am very impressed with it as well as the price. I agree with you also on the non powered outside units that come with the dish.
