My New (But Still Basic) Setup - 65cm Fortec and Inverto LNB

Well when I took my Zone 1 on holiday to watch the cycling the wind blew it over and snapped a bracket.......the perfect excuse to buy a new dish . I popped over to Maplin and bought a 65cm Fortec Star. I had to use the old Skyware LNB on it until today, when my Inverto SilverTech arrived in the post .
