Smile Newbie wanting advice !!!

am a newbie to the satellite seen and i was just wondering what system to get me started. ive looked at various forums and the technomate 5400 seems to be the choice. but i would like advice from other people first before i purchase one

i.e / :fixed or motorised dish
:what size dish
: is there any other systems you would consider to me

any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks Craig

Welcome to satsuk,

System depends really on your budget and viewing requirements. The TM5400 is an ideal starter receiver (have the 5200 myself). If going motorised route, I'd recommend the FR Penta 85cm on a DiSEqC motor, their well known as a good performer.
