Hello everyone, this is my first post since joining this forum and I am after some advice please. I have recently been given a Hyundai HSS-800CI sat receiver and a motorised STAB mount so have decided to look into setting this up at home. From a quick search of this forum I realise that I will need an LNB and a dish and mounts. My house has a south facing gable end with a bungalow next door so I should have a good line of sight if I mount it there. What, realistically, is the largest size dish I would be able to wall mount using T/K brackets?
Also I am reading up on what CAM's and cards are as I have nothing at the moment. What would the best combination of CAM and card be and what sort of programs would I be expected to receive?
Many thanks.

An 80 cm satellite dish will give you access to most of the European sats. A 1m will give you access to some of the weaker channels like the DigitAlb subscription channels on Eutelsat W2.

Ive got one of those old Hyundais HS800's somewhere in store!
