Hello to all

I am a complete noob to satellite, but i have always had an interest never the time.

I live in south wales and dont know what would be the best "starter system" to go with.

Any comments/suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

80cm dish with monoblock, Technomate TM 1000D

You will get 19.2e & 13e and the receiver will open quite a few packages once patched.

There are also one or two reasonable threads 'stickied' at the top of the Beginners forum.

Check our Utilities section too once you've outgrown the beginners section

Lots of well presented starter information in there as well

I hope you find the time to set yourself up some satellite gear. It's a great hobby, and doesn't have to be expensive.

Welcome to the forum Mallen
