Don't know about in Essex, but up here in the frozen wastelands of N. Manchester, a 60cm dish just won't get ART sport. I get it fine on my 80cm solid, but a friend is still experiencing freezing problems with a 85cm mesh.
Don't know anything about the receiver either, but I'm sure if you shopped round you could get a Technomate or something similar for around the same price (or cheaper)
As for the installation and being lazy, that's you and me both m8

Anyway, does anyone else know about ART picture quality in Essex?

I am looking for a system that will get the Art Sport Channels in South Manchester. What is the best Dish size to get and can anyone recommend an installer in the Manchester area ?
