Well, I didn't really condemn the X2. I really like the receiver, and have added a second one into the mix here.

A couple of points of information, since you bring them up: agreed regarding moisture, however the only thing in the entire mix that's outside is the dish and LNB. The multiswitches, diseqcs etc are all indoors and well protected from moisture.

Also, C/Ku LNB combinations are not an issue here. The dishes are either dedicated C or Ku.
