So I'm trying to piece together all the bits I need for an install. So far I have a TM-2600 motor and Inverto Black Ultra LNB. I'm going to get T+K brackets and a pole for mounting it and raw plugs, screws, coax, connectors etc. Are there any other parts I will need? Also I'm not sure which dish to go for. Is there anyone in NI that would recommend going for 1.2m over 1m? I'm mainly after premiership games.

Thanks in advance

Stop at a 1.1m Triax TD110, anything larger will be just too big for a diseqc motor. If your wall is concrete block go for "thunderbolts" they don't use plugs and cut there own way into the drilled hole, very strong.
Cyfrowy / nc+ (Poland Hotbird 13e), have just announced they will be screening all 380 Premiership games for the next three years, so even a 80cm dish will be plenty in Belfast if you can source a sub for that.
If you need a Belfast installer, try to contact Chris76 from this forum, he's the best in NI for satellite installs.

Could that card be used with a cam in a TM5402?

Excellent! Thanks for the great info. It's a brick wall but apparently it's a timberframe house so I'm not sure if it's concrete behind that. I'm not really clued in on that kind of thing. Is the Triax TD110 the dish to go for then? It looks like I have to mount on a north facing wall but I'm hoping it's going to be able to peak over the roof without being higher than the roof. I'm hoping no neighbours complain but I don't think they will. I might say it's 97cm if they ask ;)

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Are you sure you have a 1m policy in that part of the country ?

Like your thinking though

Ply them with some alcohol and opera glasses beforehand though (the ones that reduce)

Just checked and it looks like I can have 1m and 60cm. 1.1m close enough. Not like they're going to measure it. Top of it can't be above chimney so big pole on north wall it seems is my only option.
