I heard ASTRA were selling off their old 1a, I think they wanted £750,000 for it, but you need to collect it from space yourself, and they don't accpet PayPal.

Thats a good one... n how about some help..

Sorry, couldn't resist it.

About £200 will get you up and running mate, that would buy you a Dish, a receiver, a motorised mount, brackets and cables.

I got a full system and only spent £185.

thanks for that, and may i ask where did you get your full system?

You can get them from ebay but this is also a good site...

www.wizardsatellite.co.uk

Although their after sales leads a lot to be desired. I've emailed them 5 times and phones them every morning for that past week and they've not replied or picked up the phone.

Best to get a 90cm dish and a motor that supports USALS/GOTOxx.
