After many years of sky digital I have decided to cancel my subscription and install a motorised system
I don't watch much "pay" sky and my wife is originally arabic so the ability to pick up such channels appeals.
Looking around I see complete "no brand" systems for around £140 - this is with a HiDef receiver, 80cm or so dish, bracket and motor.
Does anyone have experience of such cheap set-ups ? In particular the dish/motor side of things.
I will install the system myself, have installed several fixed set-ups and have a scaffolding tower so don't forsee any problems here, though should I budget for one of the cheap signal meters or are these not required as I guess all recievers have on-screen meters.
Grateful of any comments or alternative systems I should consider, would obviously like to keep spend down.
