My System: 'Fortec Star Passion' (& a dead SL65) One of them big Woks on the outside, and a thingy that moves it about a bit.
Comag SL55 Any good? Or alternative suggestions?

Comag SL55 Any good?

I have a chance of one of these, need basic system for bedroom.

Can you patch this one?

How much would be a reasonable price?

Any suggestions as to alternatives?

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

Some can be patched, some can't, not sure how good the support is nowadays.

All the usual terrestrial channels, plus anything of interest on the popular sats.
No sport necessary
