Good stuff.

Read our motorised guide before you start, have a beer after it's installed, not before

I usually find that bending your wife's credit card firmly across the chip and/or applying a massive magnetic field to the card-reader strip on the back is a good way to keep the shopping budget under control.

If that fails, or your missus likes to buy online, then a call to the card company reporting the card lost or stolen is a good backstop.

Good luck with that install mate. Choose your dish location very carefully
