I have decided the time has come to invest in a very good satellite system in my new house in London. I want the best, installed by the best, and am prepared to pay for it, but am not knowledgable enough to specify it myself.
I would welcome recommendations on which companies are at the top of their game and are used to installing really high quality systems. Links to their websites would be a bonus.
Thanks in anticipation
Jim

HD ... just HD or the best ?

PVR- Recording HD

3D...?

1 satellite 2 3 or 4 or..

Motorised satellite ...?

Dish size then... (the bigger the dish the more of certain channels) or a small dish

Freesat-Sky &/or European & worldwide satellite.. free or subsciption packages... or the lot.

Multiroom ... media plates in rooms with all HD satellite services available

High HD wiring ?

HDMI distribution ?

me!...but a bit far from you
but be careful about telling everyone that you will pay for it...the price may go up.

Could you give an approx price of a mid level system? I could do with a new toy to play with. I've often floated around these forums, but its like another language when i'm reading through these topic's

Apologies for a slight hijack on this thread. Just curious what sort of prices these things can start and go up to.

Properly installed decent kit throughout and complete (motorised), I think you should be looking at around £350- £400+, more with a bigger dish & HD. But you really have to make sure that it 'is' all decent kit (that doesn't mean dear- just well chosen & properly installed) and ideally see the installer's previous installations- there are loads & loads of poor motorised installs.

You can do it cheaper & still have a lot of fun (& usually a lot of frustration though) but you will want to go up a level & fix all the bad bits once you know more of what's what.

You can go for a single fixed dish and add another satellite or two (or 3) - that's a lot cheaper & easier start.

Have you paid to advertise ?

[alan1572]

ahh, so it wasn't for me

[logiciel]

It was for anyone who might advertise his services - and you don't do that.

What I tried to do in the post above is sub devide the areas - it's actually a very big subject... Best HD? Motorised? 2 dish- Big dish? Most Channels? UK/ European/ Multiroom- distribution and what is on that distribution .... multiswitch systems where - 1, 2, 3 or 4 satellites plus freeview & DAB/FM are all on plates in all rooms.... and how it's all wired..

They are all big sub-subjects that you can go to town on or all of them - but that can be difficult (multiroom motorised etc- not easy but do-able (we've done them)) ... a few hundred pounds to 1000s or 10s of £1000s.

you actually asked quite a big question..

What is your budget ?
