Freesat kit

Hi all

I'm looking at getting a Freesat setup and was wondering where the best place to go would be and what sort of price I would be looking at?

I know I'll need everything from the dish to the box but that's about it.

Oh, yeah, and how much can I expect to pay for installation (Currys charge around £80 which seems a bit pricey!!)

I paid £75 for Sky Pay Once Watch Forever, which gets the dish installed, plus a Sky box a 4 months of a package. Cancelled after 4 months and bought a Foxsat HDR and plugged it straight in. I 'persuaded' the installer to hook up a quad LNB and wire it up.
A 'Freesat' installation is exactly the same as a standard Sky one (minus the phone line) try phoning installers locally. Asking for a Sky installation will probably be cheaper...
