Thanks mate. I'd like to get some opinions as I'd like to be able to compare the 2. Where would I find instructions to patch either receiver?

Hi guys, I'm in the final stages of putting my order together and wanted to ask one final question. I've been offerted the Technomate reciever for £85 or the Kaon KSC570 for £89. Which one do you think I should go for on my motorised system? Also, I'm not sure if either reciever is patched. Is...

I know I kind of asked this earlier but how much difference will a 1M dish over a 80 CM dish? I know they say 'the bigger, the better' but will it mean I can get more channels (prefferably in english)? Would a 90CM dish be a good compromise (I here this is the max you can get without planning...

How much extra for the T&K bracket? Thanks

Yes it does, only a slight slope. How aboud some kind of cradle similar to the really large satellites which would effectively 'sit' on my roof? Do these exist? I'm guessing that one of these T&K bracket systems will require professional information? Also, any feedback on the items in my...

The only problem I can see with this is that (like most roofs) my roof has a slight overhang. Will the T&K braket accomodate this? Also, could I put the dish on the other side of my house rather than at the front (as shown in the pic)?

Here's a pic of my roof. Can the dish go anywhere else?

Would it be a problem if I purchased a Technomate 1500CI Super now, and in maybe a year, replaced it with a Dreambox (or another reciever). Would I have to change any other parts of my system or would it just be a case of unpluging my Technomate and plugging in my Dreambox? Would someone be so...

Thanks guys, A few additional questions: If I wanted a more advanced reciever (I'm guessing one of the dreamboxs is the best top level reciever, not sure what the best mid-level recievier is) What benefits would they bring my motorised system (sorry for being so vague:-DOH! )? Is this...

Thanks for your help. I've got a few more questions: Are the English Channels/programmes that are available on satellites other that 28.3E FTA or encrypted? If they are encrypted, is it easy to find keys/patches (not sure of the difference) to unscramble these channels? Would a Technomate...

Hi guys, I just spoke to a satellite dealer and the basic gist of the conversation was that if you want English programming, there is no point in getting a motorised system. I'm primarily interested in English Football and was looking to get an ART card with whatever system I chose but I'd like...

Hi all, I'm a bit of a nubie and need some advice. I was thinking of getting a fixed system and an ART card to watch English football but I'd like to be able to watch other English language programming (movies, etc.) not just the normal Free to air stuff. I was thinking of getting a rotating...

Is there any way to get any additional English programming? (How about if I got a motorised dish? Are there a lot of free top air or 'crackable' (sorry I don't know the correct terminology) english channels? If I'm pointed at the Digit Alb Satallite (don't know what it is called) are there a...

If I buy the Digit Alb card, is there any chance of getting any Prem football that they don't show (maybe patching the reciever?) Or, If I get the Art card, is there anyway of getting any other English channels (maybe getting a rotating dish instead of a fixed?).

How much more English footy is on Art versus Digitalb? Is Digitalb likely to show the same amount of Liverpool games (does Digitalb focus more on big clubs or is their selection of games random/equal for all clubs over a season? I'd like the ART package but do watch stuff other than football...
