P paniam Newbie Jan 5, 2015 #3 Thanks for reply, would it need to be a modern dish? I ask as there's an old one outside my flat that I've never used, just wondering if that would be suitable?

cactikid VIP Member Jan 5, 2015 #4 worth a try to see if you get a signal,if your flat was wired up just plug it in and look for 28.2. sat.

P paniam Newbie Jan 5, 2015 #5 I don't have a box yet though, is there anyway to test if the dish is suitable wihout a box?
cactikid VIP Member Jan 5, 2015 #6 unless you knew someone with a sat meter but i think box has to be on other end.
