[QUOTE="mapperuo, post: 809788, member: 389888"] Figure I'd add these incase anyone is researching into a simple install.. Might be of use. It's a 2 inch diameter, 2 meter pole bolted with a patio stand to a large concrete slab we had lying around, It can barely be lifted with two guys so was ideal. Buried in the ground slightly towards the hedge to minimize wind, The hedge isn't at all in the way of the satellite arc, all in the other direction. Testing I could get 45e to 37.5w, probably try further when I'm inside and cozy warm but I'm pretty happy as is. Cost wise: Dish: £40 LNB: £10 Sat Tuner: £130 100m CT125: £44 Pole/Brackets/Bolts: £25 Motor: £35 Not going to be breaking barriers with it, but for someone who didn't know anything about satellites a month ago, I think I've done alright. :D [/QUOTE]
