- My Satellite Setup
- Only a mast on a hillside with line of site to freesat/sky bird at present, located approx 60 metres from house. Tested last week and nice strong signal in an area listed by all the suppliers as a non available postcode!

- South Hams, Devon, 10 miles NE of Plymouth
Hi all
Just joined hoping for some help and advice. I lve in the deep South West of England on the coast about ten miles East of Plymouth in an area where all supplier searches have shown no satelite reception. Postcode listings show up as everything not available. But I own the hillside above me and discovered by using a signal testing kit last week that I have a strong signal and clear line of sight to the Sky/Freesat bird only about 50 metres from the house. So I've stuck up a 3m pole and am now wondering what sort of dish to hang on it. I'm going to be feeding a lovely new 1098 HD flatscreen my kids forced me to buy last week. I've bought 100m of dual coaxial cable from Screwfix (good quality foam insulated stuff and CHEAP) and now need advice about what to connect. I have absolutely no interest in mobile dishes to hunt for dodgy stuff and am looking for help and advice on what to hook up for standard family viewing. Want to spend as little as possible for HD!
