    Can anyone tell me the best "one stop shop" for getting Sattelite Dish/Receiver and LNBs including fitting etc. I want to cancel my UPC but don't know where to begin when it comes to finding alternatives. I have never had a sattelite dish or receiver before. I think I would be best getting a Freeview box plus an LNB for Irish channels. Who is best value and quality to go to for this whole package (including fitting of dish etc)? :confused:

    I'd certainly advise you to source your Freesat receiver independently at the sites below. In many cases, you'll pay a hefty premium if purchasing same from Irish e-tailers. Then organise your dish and associated hardware via the installer accordingly.

    A Freeview box receives UK terrestrial TV through an aerial. It won't work with an LNB.

    Yes. Don't forget an aerial for Irish tv. Your telly might already be saorview compatible so no need for a saorview box if it is.

    Any reliable installer as per the link I gave you earlier should sort out all your needs.

    Buy your equipment from Tvtrade.ie and get an installer from ISAA to fit it for you
