That looks like a good deal. You will have to pay for the delivery which makes is about £80. Similar deals are available on fleabay with free delivery. Almost the same price. You can contact the seller directly and order one. They have got shops at different places.

These dish packs are often not the best quality. Go for a td 110 or an orbital, something along those lines.
Get a dark motor and inverto lnb.
Might cost you more, but it's quality kit.

Thanks bokkie but like all humans I am on a budget , love the look of a dark motor but that setup goes into £150 so I'd say 60 over budget ... I guess will have to visit the sperm bank LoL

It'll do the job, so I'm not trying to discourage you.
Why not look in the freeads for a secondhand dish? That'll leave you more to spend on a decent motor and lnb.

Re: Any ideas on this package dish+motor

Have to look for a 2nd dish , have to say inverto lnb had great reviews , and dark motor is a fav, looking for a good price on fleabay,
I will take ur advice and look for a used dish
thanks for wise words

Re: Any ideas on this package dish+motor

If you look around hard enough then an Orbital 1m + dark Motor or even TM2600 + inverto Black Ultra should come to around less than £100, Like i say if you shop around

Re: Any ideas on this package dish+motor

Take your time, have a look around, and see what you can get.
If you choose quality kit, you won't regeret it in the long run.
When I was looking for a dish, there were some ads with people selling whole setups like I described. They are few and far between, but they are out there.

Have a look on gumtree as well if you can find one near you and can pick it up and pay in cash on collection. That would be safe and secure but usually i don't recommend gumtree, full of scammers.

Re: Any ideas on this package dish+motor

Have already checked gumtree , there is a sat shop a few miles , will go there and see if they have some used dishes , I will take some time instead go for all in one package as you mentioned bokkie, techno 2600 is little cheaper but dark seems to be the real deal.
Thanks guys for your sound advice ,

I advised the op to buy a second hand dish, not motor and lnb.
As long as the dish is not dented/distorted, it'll make no difference if it's second hand.

Re: Any ideas on this package dish+motor

I would always advise searching out a S/H dish if at all possible, it doing so you will probably be able to afford a bigger dish with all the benefit that would bring, a little time spent touching up any scratches and general cleaning are well worth doing and cleaning/oiling any moving parts is well worth the effort. The electronics I would always buy new along with the best quality cable.

Re: Any ideas on this package dish+motor

As long as it not as mesh dish they sometimes get distorted i cant see a problem with second hand

Re: Any ideas on this package dish+motor

Second Hand dish is fine but buy the other equipment like cable, mount (Wall or Pole), Bolts, Connectors and LNB brand new. They are not expensive and you will be able to get the right arc by installing/mounting the dish 100% vertical.
