Hi, if you moved the dish round for 19E, you may be able to get something for a limited period.

Ideally, get a 1m motorised dish, for more choice.

£40 to £60 for the dish, £35 to £40 for the motor. Sometimes you can get cheaper. have a look at southernsatellite's section.

With the correct size dish & motor you would be able to sweep the arc and pick up many satellites.

There are several packages open ATM. Great receiver, I have the same.
