[yamar1]

HI, new to the sat side of things, iv just ordered a openmedia box and need a bit of advice on which dish (size, lnb, motorised or not etc) to buy, bearing in mind im new to satellite. im in the north east of england. Thanks.

North East here too mate.

The bigger dishes can pick up more sats.

but i got myself a 1m one which is what i wopuld advise you to get.

you can get 99% of sats between 45 east and 45 west with a 1 metre dish.also it depends on if you want to spoil the look of your house ? with a big dish stuck on the wall.

Depends on how deep your pockets are mate, if they are deep then a 1m funke dish with a metal geared darkmotor is a good option, as for LNB's everyone has there own opinion I just use a Lemon universal.

Not that deep to be fair, just looking for a starter dish to get me going, can always upgrde later.

90 cm iss dish will do the job on something like a budget technomate motor, motorised is usually the best option because when you get a fixed dish you look at it and think "I should have put a motor on that" ;D

[yamar1]

sounds good m8, like i said just starting off here so dont realy know a lot about it all, lust looking on fleabay and them lemon lnb's seem cheap so il go for one of them.

[portbhoy]

Look at fortec star while your on there for dishes and motors Deffo nothing less than 90cm though.

[yamar1]

so will 90cm do the job in the north? also do i need to have the correct lnb for a 90cm dish or are they interchangeable? appreciate the help.

[portbhoy]

Any universal LNB will do mate, 90cm will give a good performance just check it when it arrives to make sure it's in perfect nick

[yamar1]

Thanks, now iv got an idea where to start.

Look up wizards satellite on google , you could probably get 1m motorised dish for less than ?100.

thanks for the help, 90cm seems like the one for me, anyone tell me if their is any free football channels available i.e 3pm saturday kickoffs?

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Not free but viewable. Premiere sport19e,several on 1w. Both these packages are soon to change encryption so that will be them gone. Check on liveonsat.com that should give you headway.
