If you buy your own dish, you'll still need someone to install it and align it correctly - it's not really a DIY proposition.

I remember installing our dish after relocating as a kid, involved a wet tea towel and a lot of shouting. The air was blue and after a while my old man & I finally got a decent picture (this was before HD mind!).

Never again, just get the pros in now 😉

My experience with a SKY HD box was fortunately a far better one.

SKY HD boxes have a reasonable Satellite status display and way back I used very long RF cable (which SKY HD boxes have) to a portable TV that I took outside & could see whilst making the adjustments 

They also use Universal LNBs that relatively cheap Satellite finders can be used for - however the cost of even a cheap sat finder would be best spent on getting either a SKY or independent engineer who have all the correct Test & other equipment to do the install
