Our local B&Q has some fta satellite kits available for £40.

Theres a tiny fta box, cables, clips and a 65cm dish in the kit.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

£40? That's cheap!!! But I bet it's not very good quality... :-rofl2

Any idea of the box's manufacturer? :confused

Dunno - the dish was mounted on a rack 10 feet up and the receiver was tied to the top of the lnb arm!

Actually the dish didnt look too bad - from what I could see it was a proper mount rather than a window mount.

Makro also shifts out the Silvercrest kits, but they also have one DIY HD satellite kit for just over £100.

It will be bought in Chinese stock. B&Q dont do their own brand satellite stuff. They sell SLX branded dishes.
