I've had one for years...the receiver box is 12volts, and is very good, it's even got a built in signal finder (low buzz to a high pitched scream when on the satellite)....but, the dish is crap, too small and no elevation markings on it.

I bought a cheap 60cm dish off ebay, and a tripod, and then with a little bit of common sense and a compass it was dead easy to pick up astra 2.

Although I had the tripod, I rarely used it as I mounted my dish on the rear ladder rack of the van.

Current van has Oyster2 self seeking, but I do worry about all that electronic wizardry going wrong.

I keep trying to give one away, but nobody seems to want it. It's an older one and it comes complete with a tripod too and has been used 4 times when we were caravaners.
