You need a 1.8m dish + secondhand pace/sky digi box (£20-£30) on ebay A 1.8 dish is not cheap and here in Italy will cost you a fortune, we have a petal dish which comes in 6 sections and can be bought online in UK for £120 approx' People do say there a load of rubbish but you just need to assemble properly.
