Hi

You don't need another system.

Most sky subscibers just take their box from home (and don't tell sky)

You'll need a dish (available on e-bay for just over £20 (get one that fits a pole mount)

That's it really apart from cable, connectors and pole or tripod

Hi again

If you read David Sullivans www.satelliteforcaravans.co.uk you'll see you don't actually need a satellite finder.

I've got one and don't use it because it's quicker and easier to use a compass. Point the dish due East and slowly (very slowly) turn tte dish southwards until you get a signal. Astra 2 (sky) is the first satellite you come to.

[quote]p.s is astra 2 the best satellite to point to?

depends what you want to watch! :) The $ky stuff is on Astra 2 at 28degs.

remember that your dish needs to be pretty accurately aimed (not like waving a TV aerial about) both in direction and elevation.
