New box
Hi, a family member wants to get on the bandwagon but never used before and wants cheap


ive suggested starting with skybox or openbox but I might be behind the times


am I correct in what I say for a starter box

[ramjet]

I would have said get a spiderbox 6000 HD or the tm5402 HD , especially if its for motorised , spider is less than ?60 and has a 1 year "extras" included which is for various sats but NOT 28.2e

[redeye094]

Hi,should have said, it's fixed dish on 28.2
any advice greatly received

[cushty]

why not try an amiko micro there cheap and cheerful, ?50, and get you what you want

[redeye094]

Thanks
amiko is a new one to me, does it do the same stuff as my blade 5000s and skybox f3

[ramjet]

almost any patched box will do as you want for 28e (or any other sat)

so everything mentioned so far, plus a lot more any linux , any spider , any blade , any amiko , any technomate , all down to preference
