[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 833889, member: 240839"] I would suggest getting the stuff yourself as to be honest it looks a little pricey to me. The Sky box can be gotton off ebay for as little at £25 for a HD model, You can also get a 100m of WF100 cable for under £40. A decent Inverto Twin lnb can also be gotton for about £25 The reason the installer is proposing a prime focus dish is because thats probably what he has in stock. I would go for the Gilbertini any day of the week over a Johnny no name prime focus dish. Although I would just go for a single head Gilbertini to line up on 28e and just use a throw out arm for the other satellites. Please also be aware that Sky boxes are not good for getting other satellites with. They have a tendency to throw their dummies out of the pram when they don't get a signal for 28e for a while. They also don't have DISEqC switching so you would have to manually diconnect and connect each cable for each satellite. You don't have to have a new box from Sky to get a contract. I have only ever had one box from Sky and that was in 1998. I have had several contracts from them in the past. Nano [/QUOTE]
