Hi M8
The only advice to give is at least a 1 meter dish and a linux receiver and of course a good motor to drive the dish.
I personally have a AZBox elite (Still in beta stage though)but some prefer DM\B ect..... my advice is to read all reviews and installation guides on here for dish installation and receivers so many variations.
But go for linux receiver.

Hope this helps M8

to james powell you cant get eney more on a dreambox
than you can get on a technomate or any other decent
STB dont believe the bulshitters look round theres plenty
better and much cheaper

[opsmonkey]

what are you on about..???

the only technomate box thats opens up as much as a dreambox is the technomate linux box..

i open up every major package from europe with my dreambox.. try that on a non linux technomate

try getting a stb for under ?50 that will open up all of europes major providers

before you mention the TM6900 yes, it connects to a server, but it in turn doesn't become one so you either have to use a payserver (no thanks) or use nothing as publicly listed free servers are good for a day or two max..

there is a reason these boxes havent taken off.. thats it.. however, the technomate linux box.. now thats flying off the shelves

Good advice,In uk its best not to go under a meter in dish size,as Stavross says.Receivers it comes down to what you want.Dm boxes are good but have weak tuners in them.Azbox will do 4.2.2 but still need work,but firmware been comming out quick of late for Azbox.Remote is bad on Azbox if you ask me.Blind scan boxes take a look @ the vantage ones.

Why would people who have owned both TM and DM want to bullshit someone asking for advice? You can't show me a box that opens up as much as the Dreambox for cheaper. Theres only one bullshitter in this thread and thats you.

Nice post,bulshitters seen enough of them over the years.Technomates as boxes im not a fan of.Receiver wise Technomates are clones from clark tec.Only good thing i say on Technomates is support,not what the Technomates can do.Dreamboxes have cr*p tuners & are no good on weak signels.

when you have a 90 to a 100cm motorized dish weak signals are not normally something you have to contend with

Well now your post shows you dont know much about signels.Iv had dishes from 1.8 meter going downwards.Your not one of them that says this lnb is better than others are youdish size will make a diference,its the golden rule in satellite.Bigger the dish the more signel your get.

[Bulld0g]

Well i'm only fairly new to satellites and i don't pretend i know about stuff i don't, but i have no problems with my Dreambox and a 1m dish. So i don't know what you mean when you say the tuners are weak. From what i've read the tuners are actually stronger in newer clones than original boxes.
