Hi,
i am totally new to this but im moving to a new house and want to order a system ready to set up when i get there.

I know i want a dreambox 7020 and i want a motorised dish. It may not be possible for me to mount the dish on the house itself so i may need to use some kind of tripod stand in the garden. The main objective is to get access to all the ART sports channels and sky channels.

Can someone give me some definitive advice on what the best equipment i should buy is ? including dish, motor, stand, motor controller unit, and anything else i may need.

Also if i try to do it all myself, do i need some compass or something to position the dish or does it do it itself ? And does the motor for the dish need a seperate power line or can it be powered from some other device and go down a single cable ?

Any information would be really appreciated and sorry for my ignorance on this subject.

Thanks

Smokin, be patient and just look around, surely you'll get answers to your answers.
