Hi All
I've been reading as much as I can on the Satellite forums to get an idea of what's involved before I make the leap.
I've got a rough idea of what i want:
80cm or 1m motorised dish
Vantage receiver
Sky box (just to cover all bases)
Freeview
Loads of different channels including English/Spanish/German.
A few questions :
Thanks
Frank

A few questions :
- First, a site survey...how much should I pay for this?
- Is there much difference between 80/85cm and 1 metre dishes (I'm looking at the 85cm clear and the Funke 1 metre aluminium on Satellite Superstore)
- Can you get a 1 metre dish in 'see-through' or are they all grey/black etc.
- Is there much difference between the vantage, manhatten, dreambox and Topfield recievers. (I bet this is a big question )
- Would I need two cables from the dish if I have a sky-box as well or can you have some sort of switch set-up.
- Do you need a Freeview box (i have one) or can you get all freeview channels on satellite, including ITV, CH4, CH5 etc.
Thanks
