SSL Satellites 80CM Zone 2 Freesat HDR Satellite Dish DIY Self Installation Kit, Latest Dish with Quad LNB, 50 Meter RG6 Black Coax Cable, All necessary Brackets, Bolts and SATELLITE FINDER

My old satellite dish has failed, well it has been there more years than I care to think.I ordered a zone 2 dish kit, although where I live a zone 1 should have been adequate. It's a bit belt and braces.Everything you need is supplied right down to tie wraps and cable clips. You need to be able to drill 4 hefty holes in your wall and supply a 10mm and 13mm spanner plus a cross head screw driver. Instuctions are a bit minimal but it's easy once you start to put it all together.I was able to cheat a bit as the location holes for the new bracket were in the same place as the old.All went together easily. Next to the aligning. The satellite finder is a basic model, but pointing the dish roughly in the same direction as the old and moving it slightly produced a positive result which with further adjustment homed in on a strong signal. I'm sure that if you just pointed roughly where you expect to, using a compass as installed on my phone, I would have got a good result. The first problem. I tuned into over a 1000 channels on my TV, all foreign. I had found the Astra 1 satellite instead of the Astra 2. A slight swing anti clockwise, to the east, and another strong signal. Success, over 100 channels on Freesat.Really pleased with this kit. Everything you need is supplied so no mixing and matching components. Can recommend.

Great product, did not need the satellite finder as it grabbed a great signal without it.Easy to set up and fit would recommend if you need a new one.

Wasn't impressed with the delivery as Hermes delivered it a week later than they were supposed too, (no blame to the supplier who despatched it the day I ordered it) however, this dish itself is decent quality and sturdy when assembled.It comes with a signal finder which is a very useful tool. The old dish that was on the house when we bought it was obviously a couple of cm's out of alignment so now the picture quality is much better and we have more channels.Overall I'd recommend this sat dish, particularly if you live in a zone 2 area like north Scotland as I do.

Found this kit the ideal installation at the caravan to replace a rusty old dish battered by sea air.It was easy to assemble, the cable came already fitted with the connectors much more secure than self assembly.Setting the dish up was straightforward using the included satellite locator. The componentssupplied appear to be robust and capable of withstanding the seaside environment better than the previous dish.Now have a good quality,strong signal on the TV.

Excellent value, especially with the inclusion of a satellite signal finder. Easy to underestimate how much cable is needed, recommend triple checking! As ever, the instructions for assembly could be a little bit clearer, but caused only a minor delay. Definitely recommend.

Nice kit. All goes together quite easily. No problems at all on a flat wall and dish even has a spirit level built in to help. The little satellite tuner makes and audible squeel when it detects the dish is pointing at a satellite which helps to fine tune, although i did connect to a tv i could see to make it work well. The cable comes with spare plugs should you wish the half the length and have 2 cable feeds, like you'd need with a recording box. The LNB has 4 cable plugs for 2 feeds. the raw plugs, bracket and dish all seem quite sturdy.I bought this because the freeview tv signal isn't great where I live. I have a smart tv so didn't need to buy an extra box or sky or whatever. It works really well on freesat with a few more chnnels i couldn't get before and many more plus one channels and because of the slightly oversized dish not any break up of picture yet in the wind and rain.

Returned the dish as I could not get a picture. What the instructions don't tell you is that you cannot connect this direct to a FreeSat enabled TV to install and get a signal. It has to go through a satellite receiver which is what I was using. This is my 3rd dish and I had no problem with the other 2 but despite gettingthe best signal reception according to my satfinder, I could not get a picture. Four weeks after I had an email from Amazon to say it had been received, I have had to chase the refund.
