    Many many thousands of people in the UK have satellite dishes installed independently of SKY, there are many legal reasons to install your own dish, a dish is no concern of BSkyB's, anyone can install one, and Sky certainly will not come calling

    My advice, if money is tight, is to get out and install the thing yourself, it really is not as complicated as some people like to make out, modern day H-H motors are incredibly simple to install, if you can read and have a few spanners handy then I see no reason why you'll not be up and running with a fully motorised and finely tunes motorised sat system in a few hours.

    I have had no training what-so-ever in installing sats, but now I can throw one up and find the arc in less than an hour without any fancy equipment.

    My house faces exactly due south so it is silly easy for me

    Very help thaknyou.
    Money isnt tight, however everyone likes to save if they can. Unfortunately when it comes to houshold chores or manual labour its a no no for me I just have to shop around and get an independant installer to set it up for me.

    Now is ebay the cheapest place to get the equipment from?
    Or anyone know good only retailer which currently have good offers for everything?
    I'll be getting the dm800s from dvbseller.com So I just need to get everything else.
    Setup: 2x Dreambox 800HD | 3x Dm500S on Motorised dish Setup
