    Dream box and motorised dish


    Hi,
    All I?m taking the plunge and after a decent amount of background reading, I?ve decided to get a motorised satellite and suitable receiver. (vermin look to have won on the cable front) and hopefully attempt to install the system over the bank holiday weekend

    I was thinking of an 80cm dish and a dreambox 500 ( all recommendations on materials and where to purchase would be appreciated)

    Whilst I would acknowledge I?m a complete novice, I?ve done a bit of research and will spend all this weekend doing more, and hopefully with the help of your good selves I can be pushed in the right direction as where to obtain the best information on all aspects of the installation From start to finish to enable me to be sucessful

    I completely understand what I?m attempting is probably not best carried out by a novice but I hope that I will be successful with the guidance of my more experienced forum members ( your time to shine) and worst case I can get a professional to come around and compete the installation with my tail tucked firmly between my legs.

    A massive thank you to all in advance!!!!!!!!!!
