After much thought and with Rolfw's help i am plumping for the following system for my back garden in, south london:
technomate TM5500CIP PLUS
1m dish
36v motor
.3DB LNB
Matrix Relaoded Cam
Infinity Phoenix programmer
Blue tit card
Looking in Wotsat i found a London supplier that does the whole system [exc. installation, and cam/programmer] for £308 including beeper, installation kit and cables. I have a few questions for the knowledgeable people on this forum before i part with my money.
1] Is this a good deal for this system and dish size? [dish is a 1m Box 5, whatever that is]
2] I have a ground floor flat and want the dish to be in my garden, would this be more expensive for a pro installer to do normally than on a rooftop say?
3] Would i need a compass and/or other accessories to install the system myself?
4] What are the drawbacks of a ground system as opposed to putting it on the same wall as my sky dish [im concerned about noise of the motor]?
5] The shop has a list of reccommended installers independent of themselves but i first need to know how easy/hard it is to install such a system myself. On average how long would it take and what are the potential pitfalls?
Your help would be very much appreciated as this will be my first motorised system, thanks.
