Not expensive to do. My receiver came from Lidl as part of a kit, and I
later added a larger dish with rotator. Total cost just over 100 quid.
Later still I changed the receiver to an HD one.

Does the rotator allow you to control the direction of the dish
(side-to- side and up-and-down) from inside the house? If so, that
sounds fantastic. Can you recommend a particular make/medel of this
device?

Not up and down - simply side to side, but of course it's more of an arc.
The receiver memorises where the various satellites are - indeed if you
align things properly, once you've found one it seems to find the others
for you.

Can't remember the make - came as a kit with a 800mm dish from Ebay for
about 60 quid. I think they all use a universal protocol so will work with
any receiver.

The DC for the motor goes up the co-ax cable, so needs no additional
wiring.
