B&Q Freesat Installation Kit

[johnny99xx]

Hiya All,

great forum and really happy to be a member, I've done some searches but feel I need to ask for some aadvice,
I live in a ground floor flat which is 3 stories high, Back garden has no obsticles in the way (e.g. trees)
I thinking of buying B&Q _http://nextday.diy.com/app/jsp/product/productPage.jsp;jsessionid=9jvTLYvb9QdhVvWWzxhldfnVH0h1HTyKJb4ThgxNv07NVSSzzQCq!-1025128915?productId=85448 it has everything except the reciever.
I was also thinking of buying there SLX motorised kit @ £71
My questions are
can I mount the motorised arm and dish on the wall (as I can't mount on the roof)
do I have to have a freesat reciever? as i would want a cheap reciever first before I get a
Dreambox 800 HD?
and, is it easy enough to fit myself?

thank you all for your time and knowledge

Johnny

If you have line of sight then a garden mount may be okay, although there wouldn't be much point in motorising a 60cm. Budget for a decent 80cm minimum. Try dishpointer for a general guide > http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/dishpointer.php
