MY parents have a place in france and would like to get freesat when their over there, they don't want to fit a permanent dish put would be happy putting out a dish onto the balcony or balcony handrail when in use. Is there any easy solution for non technical minded users you could recommend?

you could of course go with a full kit like the comag porty 2 which has everything you need but personally for a bit more quality you could use something like a L bracket, triax td64, freesat hd box and of course 15 mtrs of cable or so and a good quality lnb. dependent on which area of france your parents place is situated it will depend on the available signal available as the UK spot beam which BBC/ITV/C4 are broadcast FTA from is stronger in northern france and tails of further south but the european beam with most of the other channels are broadcast from covers all of france. regards mdt

I have that comag set up and the dish is a little small at 45cm it came with a mag mount and also a g clamp mount and it can also be set up whilst sitting in the box. I also have a dish which i think would be better is a folding satellite dish from maplins, the box is bigger but it comes tripod mount. They where on special years ago at £40.00, i took it to new zealand and used it there and then brought it back again.
