Not overly difficult for a DIY install.
I don't mind giving it a go, any directions on the best place or purchase a motorised dish?
These a are a few basics
1. use a pole with T& K Brackets, a good stout pole, ie scaffoolding and 2 ins diameter,
2. You need dish, motor, good lnb and good cable
3. a good receiver.
But if you want to dabble there is a complete system available with a 97cm dish for a good price at a site that has World and sateliite in it. It shows a wall mount fixing that if not in a shaded area I would be wary of.
I have a 1.1m Triax dish, superior dark motor, big pole, black inverto lnb and use a duo2 and its not bad. 42e to 30w.

Thanks for the guide. Will I get a way with using v8uhd?
when I buy a sat box i look for this feature
- DiSEqC 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2, USALS
- and if it is not listed I'll pass.
- a cheap box may not have the ooopmh to drive a motor
- but others on here may know more about that V8 and used it to drive a motor. I cant see it mentioned in the specs.
- you could get a secondhand box like vu+ solo 2 and a twin lnb

i bought a 2nd hand dish with lnb & mount off ebay, then bought new quality cabling, connectors, a superior dark motor, a signal finder & self-amalgamating tape. Using a zgemma h9s as a receiver, i followed youtube tutorials & info from this site & with a bit of trial & error, had it working perfectly in a day. If you need any guidance, let me know.
DIY a dish is not that hard, did it myself, but you do need good line of sight. I've a couple of trees in the way that need cutting back every few years, had to cut them back when i first put dish up
often trees look clear of any signal, but when you cut back suddenly the signal is a lot better
had both motorised and fixed with multi LNB's , setting up multi LNB's is lot more work, did multi LNB as wanted to watch match then at halftime zap insteatly back to Sky Sports News
