Hi All
I've just moved to London and no longer have a sat dish. I may not be here long so am looking for a cheap/easy dish set-up. Caravans seem to use dishes so I'm looking for some advice,
thanks for any help, joe

Buy a zone or zone 2 sky dish from e-bay complete with lnb. Because they are made in their millions they are as cheap as chips.

Hi Graham
thanks for the tip "Buy a zone or zone 2 sky dish"- I guess you mean zone 1 or 2? Are they easy to set up?
thanks again, joe

Yep missed out the one. A zone 2 will be pretty bad weather proof where you are.

Good advice here

And to find out which direction (azimuth) and elevation for your location.

Hi Graham
thanks for the tip- I bought one around £16.oo on Ebay and a local guy fitted it for £60.00 -too tough for me!
Now back to the World of Humax'!
Now lets see if I can put a bigger H/D in it...
all the best, joe
