Try eBay for finding analogue sat gear seen quite a few on there recnetly get bid well over the starting price. Look for one in good condition with a remote control and if posable instructions. Also ask the seller to check it powers up and swiches out of standby, You dont want to buy a Lemon after all. Id look for a Pace or a Nokia.
Car boot sales are a good place too as are charity shops who cannot sell electricial goods without testing them.
Id even try looking at the local recycling centre seen many boxes in the electronics pile.

Echostar, Pace, Drake have some very good receivers. I would go for a Pace one.

If you can get one, a Pace MSS300 is the bee's knees, badger's nadgers and goat's gonads all in one, best analogue receiver I've used so far...

As for motorised, the MSS500IP or MSS1000IP (later versions are better I think), but personally, I'd just use a DiSEqC digital receiver with a passthrough to the analogue box...

You should be able to pick up an Echostar VA3000ip for very little. Then you have digital ...analogue and a motorised positioner all in one box.

I threw three analogue and two D2mac receivers/decoders in the skip three months ago.

I was sick of them clogging up my spare space. Not worth anything to me, anyway. I tried flogging them, but it was like selling sand to the Arabs.

Sorry, if you'd said earlier, as long as you paid the postage, you could have had them.

Soz.

Can't agree more - my final ever motorised system used a MSS500 to move the dish - simply select a channel on a bird and name that channel to whatever satellite it is on - so Ch1 is Astra19.2E, Ch2 is Hotbird 13E etc....

Keep your eye on the well known auction site.....they appear on there for pences...

Don't buy new - the technology is practically 'throw-away' now - so fleabay is your best bet - few on the UK site for practically pennies.
