[QUOTE="bigboy9, post: 108004, member: 192463"] Many thanks for all the replies - it really is appreciated. There seems to be a lot to do - and it is critically important that I "start off right" with the right equipment. Many of you are recommending dream.. etc, and a few others too. Given that I want to "future proof" and "auto scan" for channels and just have an easy life, would anyone care to recommend thier top three picks for receivers? I know a lot of you are dedicated enthusiasts, but I hope some of you will be able to give me a shortlist of recomended receivers (and "why" you recommend them to me). I am not looking for mature content, or foreign channels with english subtitles or any such similar. All I want is a box that can control my satellite dish, automatically scan the skies for the channels and basically be "futureproof" as much as is possible. Clearly, I am out of my depth in that I am not an expert in this field - but I am learning quick. My problem is curbing my enthusiasm to buy - I want one "now" but realise it is sensible through this web site to first clarify my purchase before ordering a system. I can't wait to watch CNBC and bloomberg etc without handing murdock my hard earnt cash. As for dish, motorised of course, I assume that .8 or .9 is the biggest I can go for - I am hearing planning problems with 1 metre dishes etc. Also, I don't want anything tooooo obturusive hanging off the side of my house. Many thanks once again to all posting replies - having surfed the web for what now seems a lifetime (how did we live before it!?) I find everyone on this forum poilite and exceptionally helpful - I stumbled on it via google. I want to be up and running asap, and cancelling murdock! Cheers! [/QUOTE]
