If motorised what's the best motor?
What's the best lnb to get?

Forgot to ask also does the box work well with homeplugs and if so what make is recommended ?
Dish size depends on what satellite you would like to tune into, I'd say fir the largest you can get away with. I use a 1.1m Triax, fantastic dish.
Motor go with a TM-2600, all metal gears on this baby
LNB, with something like this one you can record one channel, whilst watching another as it has dual output http://www.*********.co.uk/LNBs-and-S...duct_info.html
Install, I'd say shop around. Also price could vary on the site where being installed.
Yes homeplugs should work fine for internet connection, cant advise on a brand as I never used them. If you've got wifi at home you could use one of these http://www.buffalo-technology.com/pr...net-converter/

First off you'll a top of the range receiver, top motor, top dish, top lnb. To me the installation looks too expensive. Shop around, I'm sure you could find someone to install for 100 quid.

If i'm only gonna do it once then your right its best to get the best equipment and i look at it as a one off cost...just out of curiosity can we still use a standard sky dish i know that will only limit my choice but will the box still work with a sky dish ?
yea off course, if it got twin out put LNB you can still record one channel, whilst watching another.

Talking about the inverto LNB (Inverto-0.2dB-Black-Premium-Twin-Output-LNB) which I wanted too, I contacted Inverto and they advised that this LNB is not compatible with a motorized (prime focus) dish.
May be you need to confirm this...
hey mate, give the below a whirl...
does a great 80 cm dish pack. Ive had my box and dish kit from them. Quality service.
Shop around for the fitting though....Code:www.*********.co.uk
Ive got someone in leicestercharging ?65 including materials...
Setup: Vu+ Duo, Orbital 90cm Dish, Technomate TM2600 Motor, Inverto twin LNB

Bob...
you are using the inverto lnb on a motorized dish, is it working good. if so, why did inverto themselves said it won't?
Hope I'm not knobbling somebody else's thread here. As an absolute newbie and old, is the box this forum is based upon likely to be usable by someone like me. Ain't got a clue about Linux and use Macs so am out on a limb a bit. Also; is a serial connection required as on a laptop I don't have one; plus which sat Shop is the forum's sponsor or where to buy when available. Use a patched TM 69899 at present. Thanks for in advance any help. PeterOriginally Posted by Sicilian
