        there is no such thing as a best box it depends what you want from it whats best for you. if you check out various sat dealers you will get the prices from them. a 1mt dish will be fine in the uk for the most used sats.

          What channels are you looking to get? A 1metre dish is pretty big and no doubt expensive!
