Which sats would you like to receive, and where will you be travelling?

Do you have a maximum size in mind?

Does it have to be fixed to the roof of the van, and are you prepared to manually remove it for driving?

What about a separate tripod or pole-mounted dish?

How much do you want to spend and what shoe size are you?
