    Smile Dish and motor for Blackbox?

    Hi all, can anyone plse recommend a good dish and motor to use with a Blackbox 500S clone?

    Just about to get into satellite and it would be great if someone from the good school of experince could suggest a dish size & make (located S. Devon, UK 50.4 degs Lat), and a good quality LNB & motor? Do you think a 90-100cm dish will give much of a benefit over say a 60cm one?

    Has anyone seen any current reviews of dish hardware I could read?

    Not even sure what sats would be interesting to look for I'm that green at the mo (still looking & reading though) but in general I would like to just hunt around looking for anything new and interesting regarding whats going on in the world so I guess the more choice the better. I'd just like to get into sat viewing and hopefully avoid any obvious newbie errors at this point .

    Thanks for your help

    where you are bud i would go for a 1.2m gibertini..
    the reason being you might pick up the horizontals on nilesat,and they show all prem games..

    if you have the cash and space in your location i would go for a 2.4m dish.. you will pick up Showtime Arabia with no problems..

    otherwise as terriers says get the 1.2m dish..
