[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 488529, member: 256551"] Hi, dutchie, You should not have too much of a problem installing the dish yourself. The signals from Astra 1 at 19.2E are pretty strong in the UK. If you go to lyngsat.com you will see that there are a few satellites at 19.2E, you will be able to get all of them. If you go to flysat.com, there is a FTA section and it will tell you all the dutch channels that are available on the various satellites. Down here in the south a 60cm dish is the minimum reqired to get a signal from Astra1 without suffering pixelation when it's raining hard. So up there in Glasgow a slightly bigger dish would be better. As for systems, you can really take you pick, if you only want FTA stuff. For £50, you are cutting it right to the bone if you buy new (if you can even find one). So I would say, whatever you can find within your price range would do the job. Maplin and Lidl are probably your best bet for that price range. Maplin sometimes do B-grade recevers for about £20. Alternatively you may be able to get something from ebay, or the classified section on here. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
