Here is my setup. I have a Qbox HD Mini with 2 dvb-s2 tuners - and also an old Amstrad Sky Box, for entitlement updates on my FTV card.
To the left is a SATA bay, which at the moment contains a 1TB HDD which I connect to the network via a Samba plugin on the Qbox. Out of the picture behind the SATA bay is a 1TB 3.5" external USB which is for the Qbox recordings.

Outside is my Triax TD88, with an Inverto Black Ultra High Gain single LNB, and Dark Motor Superior. The top rises just above the gutter, and has just enough clearance to rotate to the its limits. I would also like to mention my humble little Sky Minidish that has been up there for many years. It has never been upgraded, so is a single feed. It has annual battles with the Ivy, and Its days are numbered!

That's a nice dish setup. If i wasn't on the ground floor i'd go for something like that. I also have a mini dish living in ivy, but i'm trying to use the ivy to hide mine, but it just won't take!

If your dish isn't too high, plant a Passiflora (Passion Flower) underneath. It'll crawl all over it :D

Can't use CCCam with a Qbox HD Mini, however it has OSCam, which can do the same and more, as client and server, so no need for CCCam really, if you are into that sort of thing. I use it as a fta receiver, and I had no issues with OSCam getting a SKY card working for the ftv channels.
