Hey peeps, im looking for a satellite system installer in birmingham area, anyone on the forum?

thanks saj!

We don't have a specific place for installation enquiries as many members self-install, so here is fine.

A few more details may be useful though, like fixed or motorised, dish size etc.

hey, i was looking at some technomate 5000 series with 90/100 cm motorised dish but i been reading about linux boxes recently so im inclined towards linux receivers, they seem a bit more tricky but seems worth it from what i've read!

nano - can you install?

nanochickin · 29-12-07, 02:46 AM

I have the capability and equipment to install it but i really suggest you ring around mate, there are loads of very competetive sat installers in Birmingham.

If it was a static dish i may have considered it, but motorised dishes can sometimes be too time consuming and a complete pain in the arse to setup the arc correctly

Sorry mate

You could try and do it yourself, we can give you any help you need online.

A basic fixed dish setup is relatively easy to do. A motorised setup just that one step further. Go on you know you want to

Does it have a balcony? that faces south?

saj1985 · 29-12-07, 11:36 AM

yes i have a balcony and it faces south, had a quote from a guy but he cant deal with linux boxes, he checked on his electronic compass, ill get thor, sirius, astra 28.2, astra 19, hotbird, hispasat and many more, he did quote me for a 90 cm dish and said ill get a lot of satellites because its quiet open where the dish is pointing, but im more interested in linux boxes after what i've read recently, if that makes sense? lol
