This is my first post, so here goes....
Having read many posts on various satellite systems, Does anyone have any first hand experience of either "Maxview" or "Satgear" portable systems.?
Intend to use mainly in UK, but with hops across the Channel.
Any views much valued and appreciated.

Same here, but I did it via a car boot
Tripod (old camera one) £5
Skybox £5
Sky dish £20 off ebay (but people give them away these days since the change to Sky+)

Thanks Michael.
What a brilliant site, full of information and clearly aimed at those (like me) with little knowledge of satellite systems.

For those using a Sky box for the FTA/FTV channels without using a Sky Freesat card, Ch5 will not appear unless you program the channel in yourself via the add channels menu, easy to do but just another ruse to make you contact Sky, with a view to them turning you into a subscriber, you have to admire Rupert and his gang, they never seek to miss an oportunity to get money out of folk, worst case cenario is that they sell you a Freesat card for £20, when in actual fact you need pay nothing to receive the FTA/FTV UK satellite channels.
