Wife wants a TV in one of her rooms. Our other two run off a
conventional terrestrial aerial but for various practical reasons I am
thinking about running this off a Freesat dish instead. I've never
installed a dish before, but it doesn't look like rocket science (I've
checked and it can go on the wall outside her window, or possibly on a
dormer window above it). Any particular advice on hardware and
installation? I'll be getting a smart TV with a freesat tuner.

As others have said. Plus
You must have a satellite meter to line the dish up.
The dish position is hypersensitive.
The meter is the size of a match box and goes in series with the dish, removed when setting up completed.
You have no chance without it.
Easy with it.

I think you can also buy a kit, (Dish, mounting bracket and meter.)
