A 1m motorised dish would be ideal.

i had a friend that said she just pluged hers into her sky dish

hi m8..
i would suggest the fortec star 90cm,,which is what i am currently using.....its quite robust compared to the triax dishes and performs very well..........also you should think of motorising your dish with a diseqc motor.....both available at your local maplins quite cheaply...........


if you just plug it into your sky dish your only gonna get the free to air chanels

this is where our system is from...Maplin> satellite

i would agree with curious and get either a 1m or 1.1m dish rather than a 90cm, i have a 90cm but want a bigger to maximise my signal on some weaker satellites like 16e......but a motor is a must

i have a 1.2mtr channel master fibre dish and it looks great
i give it a coat of car polish every year with the annual greasing
