[QUOTE="willis, post: 386793, member: 256132"] Hi Topper, Thanks for the help. Yup I do have a clear line of sight five degrees west of south. I have decided to go with your recommendations and will get a 80cm dish from ebay (not many 90cm ones) - is a 0.6dmb lmb ok as I saw some for 0.2dmb and don't know what this means? Also what's the benefit of having a motorised dish? And do these need to be powered from the mains? Also some Technomate 1500's on ebay say they are "patched" and therefore there is no need for "CAMS or cards". What are CAMS? Also would this make any difference to me? What does the "Patch" enable? Sorry to ask so many questions, I bet some people are :eek: he knows nothing but I gotta start somewhere :) Thanks again for the help. [/QUOTE]
