    Worth it?

    Got a satellite kit from a shop, a Technomate 5200D, 80cm dish and the satellite guy to install everything and do the wiring from upstairs to downstairs, all for ?220

    Is it worth it? and does anyone knows if the box will have the latest patch and all that (I havent asked the sat guy yet). I m new to satellites..sorry.

    If its not patched to the latest patch, should i tell him to do it?

    Thanks

    you can get the 5200 and 80 cm motorised for about 150 quid so if he charging you 70 to install that sounds not too bad to me

                Even if its not patched, its not a difficult job to patch it.

                          even if it is motorized that receiver can only open 1 package which is changing its encryption soon so to me it not a good deal

                            OP, you didnt buy this system to get free Sky did you?
                            Lose your memory sticks? Forget to backup? Why not get 2GB of free space online, and I get 250MB too
