Just have a browse through fleebay steb, you should get one for arround ?50. Or you can go for a motorised dish. I got a 95cm dish with tm2300 motor ?100. Obviously you will have your fixing costs, unless you can do it yourself. Can be very frustrating!!!!!!! there is plenty of info on here howto.
good luck

I have asked for a price on a " Fine tune " of my dish...He wanted ?70 ish. I shall buy a half decent meter and do it myself for that. I also got myself a 85cm motorised dish kit ( from wizard satellites ) for just over ?100, this included a TM2300 motor and Technomate LNB...Also included was a 20mtr roll of Coax, F plugs etc. Its still worth buying a decent set of T & K brackets to use instead of the supplied bracket. So this will add about another ?10-?15 to the price

Yes mate same with me, mine still needs tweeking, just got back from holiday to this great uk weather so messing about on ladders is postponed, but I am confidant I can do it as I bought the meter shown in the link below from fleebay. I had a mess about with it before I went away, its pretty easy to use and you know you are on the right sat as it has all the sats plumbed in and all you need to do is input your long lat and its ready to go. I have used a mates Horrizon and in my opinion the pro digital is by far a better machine. Also you dont get a customs charge as they send as a gift.

fair expensive bit of kit mate yad want to be getting a good bit of use with it

[00360362878]

True. But you pay less than that, all you get is peepin an whistlin. Trouble is that could just be because you found the O2 mobile phone mast, or a mobile speed camera.
It is a good bit of kit though.

penta 85cm......check it out

As mapex said, the pentax is a good dish... Also, the gibertini 85cm is a good dish as well. When using a decent lnb (such as the inverto black ultra)...
