Anyone using the Intellian i2 for HD? How was the install and setup?

Thanks,

I just installed the KVH M1 system. $2,100 for everything, really easy to install and works nice. No HD on the M1 though.

If you want HD on an antenna that small, you would subscribe to Dish Network. DirecTV only has a few HD channels left on Ku band, and the higher-frequency Ka band requires an 18-inch dish minimum from Intellian (available for more than a year in a dual dome, and for a few months in a single dome.
I believe SeaTel's Ka-Ku antenna is a few feet in diameter, and KVH, Azimuth, King Dome still don't have a Ka antenna.

That was last years information. I think even Intellian is into a single dome now. KVH now has the HD7. I took a picture of their display at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
