[QUOTE="Alonso14, post: 124691, member: 194710"] Thanks for the reply. I don't have a clue how to install the satellite and have never done this sort of thing before, so I'm just wary of the costs involved in setting up a motorised dish, i.e. engineer quoted me £60 to install a 2 lnb fixed system, but read somewhere that a motorised system takes a lot longer to set up. I take it that with a motorised system, you need just one lnb and somehow you input the position of the satellite you want, and then the lnb locks onto it - obviously more desirable like you say, it would then be possible to lock onto eutelsat w2 16e for digitalb etc., as well as hotbird. I've seen motorised packages with the TM 1500CI+ and 80cm dish for around the £240 mark, so my problem is finding an engineer in the north west who will install it at a reasonable price.
