    sat info please

    I still have some further questions about moving to Sat although I guess it should be in the Sat forums, we have no dish on the house at the moment but will happily get one if it's beneficial which it seem it might be.

    Do I just need a dish installed without any decoders, would an professional satellite company do this and set it to the correct/optimum direction for my needs?

      you are best with a 1m motorised dish, but be warned sat is no walk in the park, and takes a bit of dedication and patience.

      have a good read m8 loads of guides info around here.

        Where do you find 'a guy' to do the installation, I'd rather pay and get it right.

              I ordered a DVB-S tuner for my DM600 today, so all i need now is a dish and install.

              I'd rather get a professional satelite installation guy involved to save me from faffing about and actually getting the job done.

              Everyone I have rang so far wants to supply motor/dish/decoder and I haven't as yet told them about my DM600 while inquiring.

              I would prefer to buy the equipment myself to try and ensure I get quality components. Do you think that installation services will install if I get my own parts?

              Or even better, can someone recommend an installer in the Sussex area?
