- I am considering buying a new/used satellite dish to receive some
- speciality telecasts from UK. I have been reading this group for
- some time and could not make a lot of sense about the jargon used.
- Can some kind soul guide me to:
- Where to start?
- What kind of dishes are out there?
- What are the basic differences?
- Some price-performance information.
- Installation - Can it be done with a little pain by anyone or
- some professional help is a must.
- Where to look for used systems; what to look for in used system?
- Any magazines/books/catalogues to get familiar?
- How important is the size of dish vs the quality of the receiver?
-
- If I decide to go for professional, who will you recomend?
- How much should I expect to pay for everything for a decent system and
- installation. I don't want to be ripped off.
-
- Thank you in advance for any help.

- Nasir Jamil.
