to ANYONE buying a second hand dish: Please remember that you should see it WORKING on BBC / ITV, etc in the evenings - before it is dismantled.



Get it dismantled by an expert sat installer - if one pental is just slightly out of true - you will have bought a 'white elephant '



A sat installer only has to install once - if it is new.. and has to oversee the dismantling and transport - so you might not be 'saving'



If the dish is new and it doesn't work you have an ass to kick.. if it is second-hand ....



I once bought a second hand dish and it got damaged in transit ...I didn't oversee the loading and the dish was irreparably bent out of shape - a VERY costly mistake - as an 'expert' I should have known better.
