[QUOTE="tonguedv, post: 151278, member: 199145"] Ok, Paul and everybody else interested, I just wanted to say I've decided on the 7020 kit from satellitesuperstore. So all I need now is the mount and an hd! I should have one kicking about somewhere......200gb Maxtor out of my playstation 2 should do nicely (it was cheap), or if I must, I could use my super quiet 80gb Seagate baracuda (in the pc I'm using now). I've heard some say it's difficult with this receiver, and some say it's easy. We'll see! I do have a fair amount of windows knowledge and I'm completely comfortable in a windows environment. The same can't quite be said for my comfort level in Linux. ..But.. just the other day I managed to get slackware up and running in XFCE (with no sound!), so.... maybe it's all falling into place :) At least with going for this kit, I know everything is matched and should fit together..... I believe theres an improvement in the LNB I get with this kit (0.3dB), over the multi lnb ones I was going to buy before I decided on this kit (0.6dB). Lower is better right? even with a 90 cm Triax I'm guessing.... Anyway, Just wanted to say the decisions been made now and I'm just waiting for it to be delivered. I'll no doubt put a good number of posts in the next few days or so ;) Thanks guys, I'll be going through this ordeal about the same time as you Paul with any luck :) [/QUOTE]
