[QUOTE="frankg4553, post: 401014, member: 188424"] 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 :):[LIST] [*]First, a site survey...how much should I pay for this?[/LIST][LIST] [*]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)[/LIST][LIST] [*]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.[/LIST]I know I'm asking a lot here but hope you can help me to see the way forward. A bit :confused: Thanks Frank :) [/QUOTE]
