Hey everyone, new to the world of satellite wonders. As you can see from my previous posts, you'll probably guess I'm Turkish and that I'm interested in getting Turksat with a small dish because I cant really stick up a big dish when I'm away from home.

I'd be surprised if the kit belonged to someone from here! lol

Heres what I got used (not for long though!):

65CM Fortec Dish w/ LNB and fittings
Fortec Star Lifetime Classic Receiver + Remote and Manual
20M of Cabling

Dunno if its worth it got it for around £50 + £15 delivery

I should be able to pick up alot of the stuff here right? Turksat is around 49-52DBw for the best beams (bar S1)

I think Astra and Hotbird are within reach too...

So..please people..tell me if I've been conned or whatever I dont think I have but you know! Any advice as to how to go about installing and tips?

I'll test it here, I mite take it with me to Cyprus to put up permanently as Turksat is really powerful there and my parents don't want to buy a big dish anyway...

For now it is to test how good it is here and if I can pick up decent stuff Turkish and non Turkish:p

PS: Is 65CM a deal better than 60CM in say, bad weather?

Thats a decent enough system to play with. You should at least get the higher bitrate channels easily enough, the west beam is reasonably strong in the UK.

The bigger the dish, the more signal you collect. A 5cm difference isnt much, but its there.
