    Default New to satellite

    I'm wanting to get a decent sat system, to watch premiership football mainly and also the odd movie and that.


    I'm interested in what people think is the best kit, I've been searching for a few hours and i'm still not sure.


    I think i'm right in saying I need a 1.2m dish with a motor. (motek sg-2100?)

    And what receiver is recomended, I thought a humax 5400 with MR cam, but over on modshack a few people have said they are on the way out and to buy a dreambox.

    Also what LNB should i choose.


    I'm not after all the channels but I want a bit of future proofing.


    If someone could recomend models of receiver, motor and LNB and a stockist it would help a lot.



    Thanks.
