[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 810422, member: 187442"] Welcome to the forum. What you're asking is not that difficult, but does depend on your budget. You are legally allowed upto a 1 Metre satellite dish, without needing to apply for planning permission, but if you want something smaller then consider the TD 88cm or the Penta 85cm. I suggest you fit a motorized system, as this will give you access to a lot of satellites, usually ranging from 42E to 30W, but you can get even more. First off I would suggest you check our dish pointer application, to see where to site your dish: [url=http://www.satellites.co.uk/dishpointer/]DishPointer | Satellite TV - Digital TV News & Help Forums[/url] Just type in your postcode and you will get your Latitude, and Longitude. I would also suggest you put up a Sky dish, for your freesat TV, and use the new, motorized dish, with a dedicated satellite receiver. Have a read through the satellite dish set up guides: [url=http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/dish-setup-guides-information-threads-faqs/]Dish Setup Guides, Information threads and FAQs | Satellite TV & Digital TV support forums[/url] Many of us update/change our satellite receiver but tend to stick with the same dish/motor, so first work out where you would need to install a motorized dish. Use the dish pointer application, select Thor, 0.8W, probably your nearest true south satellite, enter your postcode, and zoom in, on the map, to your house. By using this you should quickly learn where you will need to site your dish, which is important, not only for installation, but also maintenance. If you're lucky, and have an open, south facing, rear garden, then a ground mount is easier to install.
