My System: Zone1, DSI8215 SkyHD, Thomson DSI4214, TF5000CI, Dreambox DM800 HD PVR - Nab BH0.12, TM-5200D, Gibertini 104cm, SNH-031, 36v Actuator, Vbox-II, 42°E to 30°W, Sling Media, Televes H45 Digital Processing Analyser, Satlook Micro+G2 NIT, Rover SDM 1s | Depends exactly on your viewing requirements. Why not consider a motorised system, 90cm - 100cm should be good for Scotland. Only a single cable back to the receiver and if you have a good line of sight and the space, the dish could be mounted in the garden as said. | ||

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me. | Silvercrest is a truly excellent budget FTA Receiver, but you can't upgrade to Subs with it. | ||

Well, I was really hoping to keep it budget, at the moment, and would prefer to do a garden install for safety reasons. But a big but, is that there is a back garden and the TV is at the front of the house. There is a front garden but for security would rather not put a dish low down next to street, although it is in a cul-de-sac. How to keep a quality signal for a distance of 40m, and what are the options for cable threading, can I use the bore hole in the sky dish, or will I make do with a window entry point at the front of the house..following cable over garage etc... Any help appreciated.. JW | ||
