I have this model since about one year, and have used it without any
problem with skystar2, novas, 1.6 and 2.1 cards. 
Had a technician doing the install on the roof since I share the sat
setup with my neighbour (I use 4 of the 8 outputs) so I can't comment on
the LNB quality since I don't know the make/model.
The dish is 100 cm aluminium.
The setup is dual feed hotbird-astra, works without any problem with 5ms
waits between diseqc commands.

Can't help with the price because I bought
the bundle (parts, cables, roof install, tv antenna, masonry work etc.).
