You'll need a Panasonic TU-DSB30 (if you can find one!), a blueline MTI AP2-T8 LNB or EuroStar EKSD-T2 (0.5 db) and a good size good quality dish (Channel Master or Gibertti) where the focal point is well defined and the dish machining is very precise. If you go for an Invacom 0.3db LNB, get a Twin O/P as the signal is no good at horizontal/vertical discrimination. Exact dish size needed is dependant on location and others can advise on that. I'd really advise not go cheap on the dish 'cos you'll regret it otherwise ! Hope this helps.
