    Default Is this setup OK for 3pm footy

    Hi Guys,

    I'm new to this satellite malarky, but i have given Vermin the boot and i'm looking to buy a motorised satellite set up. Is this dish, motor and LNB a good set up:

    Dish Motor LNB

    Will have it hooked up to a DM800 Pro. Will it suffice for 3pm football ?

    Or there any recommendations for LNB and motors ?

    I would invest in some t and k brackets.
    My mate had 1 metre set up with t and k brackets and good quality lnb for 170 quid all in fitted.

    Would still want better brackets on a big dish especially if its perched up high somewhere.

    Dishes are pretty cheap,you need a decent motor and lnb but you will need a meter if you're gonna do it yourself.

    Some get alot of satisfaction doing themselves but when i had mine fitted it gave the fitter problems and he had high tech readers with him.

    i dont have that dish myself but have heared good reports on it
    i myself have an 80cm dish which does enough for what satellites i want but it depends on your location and what sats you want

    Thanks for the all the help guys. With further research i think i'm gonna source my components separately. Here's the list i've compiled:

    Dish: Triax TD88
    Motor: Alsat Superior Dark Motor
    LNB: Inverto Black Ultra Twin LNB
    Receiver: Dreambox DM800 Pro

    Will this lot be suitable for Premiership and La Liga footy (inc Saturday 3pm). I'm located in east London, so I should pick up a good few sats ?

    Thats a better set up than mine mate so you should be fine.
    I get everything i want to get and with the right sub you will get all the footy you need and more.
    Get a 1 metre dish though.

    Dish, Motor, LNB are all sound but if you can stretch to an extra ?30 get the DM800SE a lot faster than the 800 pro.

    And has already been advised definitely get a strenghed T&K bracket and if your dish is going above the gutter line then a Scaffold pole is a Must as well with probably an extra K bracket to support the weight of the Scaffold pole.

    Would disagree with you on the Dreambox 800se.
    Far to many problems im seeing daily regarding timing issues.
    The Dreambox 800hd is rock solid and though its not as fast as the Se its definately more stable.
    Think the jury is still out for me on that one till they sort out the timing trouble.

    Andy.
