Hi guys, i need some help. i want to set up a satellite dish in Shepparton for my grandfather (2 hours north of Melbourne) but im not sure what to do. I have done research on the internet and have some idea how to do it. My main goal is to get RAI International on AsiaSat2 but i would also like to get as many other channels on as many satellites as i can. Here is the system that i plan on getting:<br />Dish: STI Mesh Prime Focus - STI H/Duty, 2.3mtr(7'), Mesh, 4 Piece, Polar Mt, 76 Pole ($243.75)<br />LNBF: C-Band, 5150GHz LO - MTI - Dual Pol 5.15GhzLO, 3.4-4.2Ghz LNBF& Scalar ($45)<br />Receiver: Digital, Satellite FTA with Common Interface - R-TF3000CiP/Pro Topfield TF-3000CiP/Pro with In-built Positioner ($412.50)<br />Actuator: ACT024L Geotrack TD Series 24" Regular Actuator ($86.63)<br />Cable: Rg6 Black Quad Shield Coaxial Cable ($??)<br />Connectors: F Type Rg6 QUAD 0.36 Hex Crimp Connectors ($??)<br /><br />Total Price around $800 ($787.88)<br /><br />All parts are sourced from Melbourne Satellites (http://www.melbournesatellites.com.au/ms1/files/plist/RRP_Oct_04.pdf)<br /><br />I only want it for free to air (FTA) channels so i dont need Irdeto or CI slot.<br /><br />Will this system give me what i want? Is there anything missing that i need?<br />Do i need a bigger/different dish?<br />Which satellites will i be able to pick up with this dish? Thaicom3 78.5ºE to Intel701 180.0ºE?<br />Are Topfield good receivers? or should i go with the cheap STGold ST2000F ($191) + Moteck V-BoxII Positioner ($110) - save $111.5<br />How do i know which actuator to get? 12" 18" 24" Regular/Heavy Duty?<br />Do i need special cables to connect the positioner to the actuator?<br />Do i need a reed sensor?<br />Are Melbourne Satellites cheap or is there somewhere else i can go for a better price. I live in Melbourne so i can go pick up the parts. Im not sure how much it would cost to get them delivered.<br /><br />Any help would be much appreciated.<br />Thanks alot<br /><br />Chris.
