[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1165637, member: 176362"] As ong as you have clear line of sght to the south east that dish from Amazon will do fine. Basic installation is easy - set the dish up on it pole, align it attach to the tv & scan channels. If you get BBC & ITV fab you have found 28E. If you have mainly German channels you are locked onto 19E & if you have a weird & wonderful selection of Arabic language channels you have probably found 13E! Once the tv is showing BBC run your cables from the dish to the desired location(s) in the house. You can get flat section coax to go through window frames if you are renting, if you own the place then you are better off getting a long drill bit & drilling suitable holes in the wall.. Terminate the cables in a way suitable for you & away you go :) Do a bit of forward planning as to how many connectors you need & DONT TRY TO RUSH THE INSTALL. When you are setting the dish up try to ensure you arent going to be disturbed for a couple of hours or so, Theres nothing worse than being happily tinkering with tools scattered everywhere when the missus reminds you there is shopping to be done! And DONT try to install a dish when its windy - even a small dish can catch the wind & wrench your arms. [/QUOTE]
