What do you guys think to this?

phils_confused · 29-05-2010, 01:11 PM

I've finally started the leap in to satellite. I've ordered my dreambox 518s, all I need now is my dish and motor etc. I've found this bundle on fleabay, looks good to me but I thought I'd ask for your more well informed opinions. Any ideas are greatly appreciated

Looks fine.

Have a look at wizard satellites for similar package deal that is a tad cheaper, but your ebay link is slightly better kit.

How about this...80cm Motorised Satellite Dish Kit, LNB, DiSEqC Motor on eBay (end time 02-Jun-10 14:45:08 BST)

Thanks lads. Thanks for the suggestions. Just a couple daft questions tho. Are motek motors as good as technomate? Also I thought a 0.1db lnb is better than 0.3. Am I wrong? I might even order tonight, I'm overtiming on the night shift so I got a few extra pennies.

TBH, I got one of those motek motors for my dad, and I'm very well impressed with it, works a treat and no gear slack.

Yup, lower noise figure for lnb is better, but technically it is debatable on the figures the manufactures state.

Generally, Technomate is very good gear, I spent too much in the past on cheap crap motors and LNB's that don't last.

From what I have read recently, I would go for technomate now, but at the mo, I have a genuine stab motor (which has been more than great).

Not sure what make LNB I have now, but I know it isnt an invacom as I had one of them that failed after 13 months.

If my LNB failed now, I'd go for a technomate gold one.

Another advantage with Wizard Satellite is their FREE delivery on orders over 50 squid, which yours is bound to be, Phil.

Cheers- AL

Thanks al, but I've taken the plunge n bought the technomate kit. Free postage with that too

Just q quick note, the tm2300 motor is really fast, accurate and relatively silent, let us know when you receive your kit

phils_confused · 07-06-2010, 06:16 PM

Well I've got my dish etc. all looks pretty good. Not looking forward to the install though. No deambox yet though

Has anybody used Satronics before? If so are they usually any good?
