[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 157429, member: 199791"] I use an 80cm dish indoors (I'm in Lancashire), I can get away with a 60cm but as stated I use an oversized dish to compensate fo weather conditions. The type of LNB needed is a "Universal" one, and anything with a dB rating of 0.6dB or less is fine, but the lower the dB the better. As for Cable, I use CT100 Satellite Cable, but there are a lot more types out there which can be used too. A digital receiver shouldn't be too hard to get, there are plenty to choose from, but if you want to start off with a basic one look for ones with "FTA" in the description as "CI" ones tend to be a little more expensive (but can be used to receive Pay channels if you so wished). My personal setup is an 80cm dish with (a new but old stock) Cambridge UniversalIII 0.7dB (yeah I know, a noisy old LNB!!!), going to either my PortyII looped through to my Pace MSS300 analogue box or straight into my Nokia 9800s, with about 1.5 metres of cable from dish to first receiver.
