Dish with LNB and fitting should be no more than 100-140 quid, if your going for a static dish then the Triax with a dual LNB is what you want.
If you are not wanting to pay for the subscription cards then the best decoder for this is a Humax 5400 (non Z model) look on ebay as you can only really get them second hand. For a place to get new recievers and cams and cards then try here.

Then you will need to update the firmware via your PC to the Humax with a null modem cable, and you will need to do this each time the encyption codes change.
This is the place to find out about firmware updating and codes.

You can also buy the viewing cards legally in the UK now, if your doing that then it doesn't matter what specific model/make decoder you go for. This place is ok for cards.

cheers for that will look into it
shankly is the humax5300 ok and is a 60 cm dish with LNB bracket ok to use as well, been offered both for 100 quid (sterling)
also does the dish have to be set up high or can it be installed dwon the garden somewhere, or is that just daft? :D

Dont go for a static dish,if you do you will be stuck on 1 position,and the dual lnb will only get 13oeast Hotbird or 19oeast Astra,For an extra £60 you can go motorised and have the full spectrum of satellites from 30o west to 26o east.
For Free downlinks from skysports go to 16oeast you dont need to subscribe as this is free,you need to be motorised for all the action:D
for any advice setting up ,installing etc give me a shout help is at hand :handshake:
as a word of warning BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU BUY if your not sure ask
