A freind is thinking of getting a motorised satellite system from mapl1n and was wondering if it is any good or would he be better buying it separately?

i have put a link in if not allowed please remove thanks in advance.

Hi,
The dish is good,the motor should be OK, but the receiver has software problems and will keep crashing if you start messing about with the channel list too much.

A better receiver would be the TM5200D if he wanted to go for the bare minimum.(£50-£60).
