In my opinion, the wall mount pictured in that dish pack would be ok for a fixed dish, but could well cause so much hassle trying to get a motorised dish setup right, especially if you've never installed a dish before... T&K wall brackets & a length of scaffold pole is the best way for a motorised dish..

get an s10. they are tiny but you don't get a scart. s11's are pretty nice too but not sure about the support.

I noticed that your looking at an 'all in one' solution for satellite. so throwing out the question; is it better to buy seperates? or is there a decent all in one around?

sorry not trying to hijack the thread!

kind regards

If you just want a basic and cost effective set up then i will just go with a standard sly satellite dish and a openbox s10. All in i paid about ?110. ?40 for sky dish and installation, ?70 for openbox s10. So its up to you really if you want a motorised dish for a wider variety of channels or just 'local' channels.
Remember you need a server but can't discuss this on here.
