First time motorised buyer - on a budget - advice needed

[bigup]

[Envy]Wow, that's going to be an impressive system.[/Envy}

nothing ever turns out to be a budget install once you start researching into it!

gets me everytime

Well I think you've done the right thing: Having a budget that's too small usually means upgrading down the line and can work out more expensive in the long run.

That should be a really high performance system. If you've gone for the VU+ Duo I assume you have also asked for an Inverto Black Ultra Twin ?

i thought about that, but dont really need the twin tuner, i just got it for future proofing, so will stick with single lnb for the time being

i doubt il record 2 different channels on say 13.0E

something to think about though, might ask the fitter to run 2 cables just incase.

Nice choice.

You're telling me!

I was going to have one input from my Sky dish to my cheap PCI card
Upgrade to HD
Get a second fixed dish on Hotbird
Motorise it
4 inputs and new boxes
Black ultra

Costed more than the £50 I planned!

Once you have two tuners, to get the most out of the box you need two motorised dishes... or a fixed multi-LNB setup.
