Advice on new Satellite system

theshark

I am new to Satellite systems and would like some advice on the best dishes (optimum dish size - location N. Ireland) / receivers equipment available.

Also, is it useful to have a motorised system? If so do I need to be careful regarding the choice of receiver. What motor system is the best and do I need to install heavier brackets.

I intend installing a Humax Freeview HD receiver and Humax PVR. In the future I would also like to place a 2nd receiver in another room (or is there a better way to view satellite TV independently in a 2nd room).

I believe I would need at least quad LNBs for this setup, is it worth installing Octo LNBs? Again what is the best type of LNB to install.

Any advice on the subject appreciated.

What type of channels are you after....

Initially Freesat but the option of sport channels Rugby / Golf would appeal

At least an 80 to get going(or more) ... definitely go for a motor.. you'll love it - you'll get all the Freesat stuff plus loads of channels- especially with a bigger dish for free English channels. A lot of sport is tied up though so if you really want sport then you'll need to consider other options..

Can the PVR record any satellite feed?
