f I wanted to get Freesat, is installing the dish a task for a fairly
competent DIYer. Any hints or tips ? Is alignment a problem ?


I bought a complete kit for satellite reception - not Freesat - from Lidl
and it included a satellite finder. Gives an audible tone to a ear piece
which changes as you move the dish. Made the initial alignment by just
looking at other ones in the area. I also fitted a rotator which makes
alignment much more critical. Took several goes to get it just right. But
I wasn't working up a ladder.
