[QUOTE="kungpo, post: 91135, member: 182974"] I would be tempted to leave the dreambox for now as you may find using a "simpler" stb such as an echo dsb808 or 890 easier to use and get going. I expect it would be more rewarding to get the dreambox working, but you can always sell the simple stb later. you can pick up basic 2ci stbs on ebay for around £100 or so. You can get a matrix cam for about £50 these days, and if you can manage it, a 80cm dish and diseqc motor for less than £100. Conversely, a cheap (ie LIDL) 80cm dish and a monoblock LNB could be bought for not much more than £50. But don't forget you will need brackets, poles, cables etc if you intend to do it yourself, which can add up to another £50, plus drilling holes in the side of your house. But it is good fun, and definitely worth it, if you are prepared to put the effort in to make it all work. Plus everyone here is willing to assist. [/QUOTE]
