My System: DM800 HD Thomson Sky box |
I am looking to purchase the following; 80cm oval dish (white) LNB Motor Wall mount and pole to hold above an apex - can be used with traditional mount. Tecnomate 1500ci box (gets thor etc - and a few others now!) Would this be a suitable set up? I will probably sell the receiver and use my DM800 instead. Is there anything I should know? Will the dish pick up most satellites and channels? Thanks. | ||

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. | It depends upon how "oval" it is! In general an 80cm Dish is a good choice for mainstream reception as it will get you more than 90% of what is eventually possible (with mega dish etc.) Why get a kit that comes with a Receiver you intend to sell on? Wouldn't it be cheaper just to buy the Dish/Motor/LNB/Installation Kit? | ||

I'm sure you could get something like a TD88 or a Fracarro Penta at a decent price. And Motors, LNBs etc are not overly expensive, even for an impoverished Yorkshireman like me! | |||
