I need to get hold of a satellite dish suitable for freeview but am not sure which one to buy or where from.
I found a great shop linked from a post on here a while ago but can't seem to find it again.
I don't need any cabling as there was a dish there previously so I just need a dual LNB dish with a mounting bracket.
Could do with somewhere with next day delivery too.
Thanks

eBay is probably the cheapest. I bought mine from there, it was a Thompson one.

Wow they really are cheap, thanks for that. Did you use a satellite finder or are they a waste of money? Its on a flat roof so it wouldn't be too much of a pain to have the Humax box near me if that has some sort of signal meter.

Thanks all. I've ordered the dish and bookmarked the website.
