A few newbie questions . . .

**NEVETS** · 4th August 2003

Im going to buy a motorized dish, I cant put it on the house, but im gona mount it in the garden!

Whats the best direction to point it?

Im hopefully gonna get a motorized dish, but it not gona be turnable by 360o, only 180o...Will this be ok?

How far away from the reciever can the dish be?

Should i get a dual LMB dish?

Should i get Analogue or digital?

Whats the smallest dish i could get away with in the UK?

Best revievers? cost?

Hopefully they should be enough questions to get me started, providing i get some answers. Yes i want to get as many free channels as poss, yes i want sport, yes i want xxx, and yes i know i CANT pick up $ly . . . ;-)

digital system, motorised,dont need dual lnb. where to point well thats upto you as i dont know where you live? best get a engineer with the right kit to do it for you. smallest dish would be about a 80cm,but bigger is always better! yes you can paint it as for costs shop around
