Why change what's working well?

My old Nokia 9800s is on the last F/W update that I know of (MA2.0), and it's working perfectly as-is, so I see no reason to change it...

andysly

well you are right but its only 20 quids worth, and i just want to get it updated as best as possible.and then leave it alone..im now looking at motors new dish and lmb to go with it.
thou my old aldi 80cm dish and sharp white is doing a good job :d..
i do think i have been bitten again by the sat tv bug...again..

so now the question is

what dish what motor and what lmb for under 100 quid ?

and what cam
