I have bought an echostar ad3600ip viacess and now i need a good motorised 1m dish setup to go with it. Can anyone tell me what items i actually need ie. dish make, motor, HH mount,lnb, etc.. What is an actuator ? I have contacted my local satellite shop and they have quoted me £285 for the 1m setup ( does this seem reasonable or over the top ? ). Can u recommend the cheapest place to buy from.

i believe the £285 includes 1m eliptical dish, h-h mount, .3Db lnb and an actuator. I heard they come in different sizes but what are they and what size do i need for a 1m dish. what wall mounting will i also need?

Does that include installation, sounds a tad high if it doesn't.
