    I reckon about £40 quid for a static and about £100 for a motor.

    What size dish is it?

    Needs to be rigid/windproof mate so your dish isn't moving around. Sky minidishes are wider than they are tall so it's not too hard to point it in the right direction for a signal. Have a go but don't do a Rod Hull.
    No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...

    For a small mini dish, any pole will do (ie my washing line pole etc). You can prop a dish up on some bricks and get a signal from 28E.
