Help in replacing setup

I'm going to renew my dish/lnb and motor (original rusted sly anologue 70cm dish, universal lnb and hh motor with reliability problems) and have picked out the following items (on a low budget) -

MTI AP-ST2BL LNB £6
Geotrack polar mount £35
80cm Televes offset dish £27

I would like to know if they are all compatible? or should I be looking for a larger dish?

You might consider a Triax TD88 dish instead, depends on what you plan to recieve. Otherwise fine mate.

I have an Art card for Hotbird and would watch the footy on Hispasat if it's still available?

Cheers

Changed to the Triax TD88 dish, all arrived today, now just have to find time to assemble them and get up that ladder!

Thanks for the posts

Good choice
It'll be a stunner compared to your old 70cm.
