FridgeFTA is pleased to announce that our very popular Digiwave DWD-120T 1.2m is once again available for immediate purchase. In addition to being a great 120cm x 132cm dish, it is a great deal for Canadians. WE CHARGE NO HST/PST. Additionally the dish ships from within Canada so there are NO DUTIES and you receive your dish FAST. And the icing on the cake: this dish ships FREE to many areas and for a very low cost to most of Canada!. For more information or to place your order visit http://store.fridgefta.info/?page_id=523

Up until now we had been using emails to provide support for existing FridgeFTA Satellite Store Customers. We now have a new system in place that should streamline and speed up support and information requests. The new system is “ticket” based. If have already placed an order and have a question on the product, shipping, tech support or anything else, the Customer Care Center is your solution. Simply open a ticket (no registration required) and let us know how we can help.

You can check the ticket status on the Customer Care site and responses from staff will be automatically emailed to you.

The new system allows multiple people to help with your needs. It also provides you with a complete history of your requests should you ever need to go back and look. This system also ensures that we follow up with you to make sure your issue has been resolved after providing support.

A couple of things to note: The FridgeFTA Customer Care System is for FridgeFTA Store Customers to assist with products purchased from us only. Customer Care requests are normally handled M-F 9am – 5pm central time, so if you put in a ticket after hours the response may not come until the next business day.

New at FridgeFTA Satellite Store: 180cm (6′) and 240cm (8′) C-band dishes.

While hunting for a good 1.2m dish we ran across a new vendor. Couldn’t get the 1.2m that we were looking for but we did find quality C-band dishes at reasonable prices.

Both dishes are powdercoated 6 section metal reflectors and include polar mounts. They ship VIA freight (truck) here in the continental USA. The few locations I’ve checked for the 1.8m are not as bad as I expected cost wise either. We’re happy to quote Canada shipping too but to be honest I’m not sure that shipping to Canada is reasonable. We’re looking for a vendor there for similar C-band dishes.

In addition to just the dishes we’ve put together some all in one packages including choice of C-band LNBF, VBOX7 dish controller and an actuator starting at less than $100. C/Ku packages are less than $120.

Check out our new C-band stuff here: http://store.fridgefta.info/?page_id=752

Some of you have had a VBOX6 on backorder for quite awhile rather than get a cheap knock off controller somewhere else. Here is the bonus to really make it worth the wait…..the new VBOX 7 from DMS International.

The VBOX7 has a new look to it but thats not all. Its a heavy duty controller rated for higher current load than the VBOX6.

We are keeping the price for the VBOX 7 the same as the VBOX 6. More value, no more money out of pocket.

VBOX 7 is available for ordering now in the FridgeFTA Satellite Store on this page: http://store.fridgefta.info/?page_id=152

Note: Backorders on the VBOX 6 will automatically be receiving the VBOX 7 with no additional charge. VBOX 7 orders to Canada should be shipping to customers Saturday, July 17 or Monday July 19.

I just checked our stock of BSC-422 Twin output C-band LNB’s and much to my surprise each one has a dielectric plate in the box. FridgeFTA had the first BSC422’s available in North America and the originals did not have the plates.

The 422’s are quite popular so our stock turns over often. I can’t speak for other dealers but all of our BSC-422’s will ship with the dielectric plates.

FYI for anyone wondering, the only use for the dielectric plate is to convert to C-band circular for receiving a single satellite from over in Europe. If you cannot/don’t want that one satellite you won’t ever use the dielectric plate. This dielectric plate that is manually inserted and removed is what some other manufacturers and dealers use to deceptively call their knock off twin LNB a “quad polar” or something similar.

Reminder for Canadians: FridgeFTA does not charge you HST/PST, an automatic savings of 13% in Ontario and other areas!
