Excellent kit for the money, I have bought several of these from maplin as my friends asked to install one for them after putting up mine. A little tricky to align but if you buy/borrow a sattelite finder (really cheap) as well it can be aligned in seconds. The menu on the set top box is pretty basic but it does the job. Great value for money

Fantastic product, I bought this so that my parents could watch european TV. OK, so the menu's are not the best, but I had everything I needed in one box, it took me two hours to install from opening the box. Alignment can be a little tricky, so read up on it first, there are loads of helpful websites for this.
Our kit is aligned to Hotbird 13Deg East. Once installed the kit received about 1200 channels, some are scrambled but it has given them a lot of choice. All in all a great kit to get involved in satellite.
