Has everything you need except the tools.
Nice kit. All goes together quite easily. No problems at all on a flat wall and dish even has a spirit level built in to help. The little satellite tuner makes and audible squeel when it detects the dish is pointing at a satellite which helps to fine tune, although i did connect to a tv i could see to make it work well. The cable comes with spare plugs should you wish the half the length and have 2 cable feeds, like you'd need with a recording box. The LNB has 4 cable plugs for 2 feeds. the raw plugs, bracket and dish all seem quite sturdy.I bought this because the freeview tv signal isn't great where I live. I have a smart tv so didn't need to buy an extra box or sky or whatever. It works really well on freesat with a few more chnnels i couldn't get before and many more plus one channels and because of the slightly oversized dish not any break up of picture yet in the wind and rain.

Excellent
My old satellite dish has failed, well it has been there more years than I care to think.I ordered a zone 2 dish kit, although where I live a zone 1 should have been adequate. It's a bit belt and braces.Everything you need is supplied right down to tie wraps and cable clips. You need to be able to drill 4 hefty holes in your wall and supply a 10mm and 13mm spanner plus a cross head screw driver. Instuctions are a bit minimal but it's easy once you start to put it all together.I was able to cheat a bit as the location holes for the new bracket were in the same place as the old.All went together easily. Next to the aligning. The satellite finder is a basic model, but pointing the dish roughly in the same direction as the old and moving it slightly produced a positive result which with further adjustment homed in on a strong signal. I'm sure that if you just pointed roughly where you expect to, using a compass as installed on my phone, I would have got a good result. The first problem. I tuned into over a 1000 channels on my TV, all foreign. I had found the Astra 1 satellite instead of the Astra 2. A slight swing anti clockwise, to the east, and another strong signal. Success, over 100 channels on Freesat.Really pleased with this kit. Everything you need is supplied so no mixing and matching components. Can recommend.

Great quality for the price
Great quality for the price. Came with absolutely everything needed for the installation. The cable, whilst 'shielded' with a foil layer, is very thin. Time will tell how the external parts survive the weather. The satellite finder, although basic, works well enough. It was best used in conjunction with the tv being on to confirm the picture was there whilst adjusting the dish. Came with a couple of spare F connectors and male-female adaptors, so you should be able to make any setup work. Not sure about the colour of the cable entry cover, but hey, can't grumble for the price.

What a difference
My Sky dish was looking rusty and the LNB cover was broken so got this to replace as I now use free sat. Not that easy to assemble and install but got there in the end. Hardest part was getting a signal, without the satellite finder would have probably still be trying but once it beeped it was easy to finalise. My signal is now near 100% and quality is 100% and the picture is much much better than it was. This week has been a great test with very high winds and lashings of rain but I have had no satellite drops at all so would absolutely recommend.

Good dish reasonably priced.
Wasn't impressed with the delivery as Hermes delivered it a week later than they were supposed too, (no blame to the supplier who despatched it the day I ordered it) however, this dish itself is decent quality and sturdy when assembled.It comes with a signal finder which is a very useful tool. The old dish that was on the house when we bought it was obviously a couple of cm's out of alignment so now the picture quality is much better and we have more channels.Overall I'd recommend this sat dish, particularly if you live in a zone 2 area like north Scotland as I do.

Very easy and effective Sky dish replacement
This arrived days befoe quoted, I was so suprised and happy. I wanted to replace my 26 year old Sky dish that had failed and was quite daunted at the task,The dish was in kit form and needed assembling, the instructions were sufficient. From start to finish it took me 1.5 hours to complete the task, the kit had a sattelite finder which I didn't realise was included that made tuning the dish very easy. I highly recommend this for anyon that is half decent at DIY tasks. Very happy with the quality and price of this item, Thank you.

Everything needed is included, easy to fit.
First time installing a satalite dish and in less than a days work, I now have 2 satalite feeds in the front room and another two in the master bedroom.Picture quality is spot on! No more losing reception on my TV aerial due to atmospheric pressure.It comes with simple, step by step, instructions for each part of the install. Aligning the dish with the included satalite finder was no problem.I'm so happy I decided to buy and fit this. I have Freesat built into my LG TVs so no Freesat boxes needed, it's been a really cheap solution for me.All the included equipment is of good quality. The twin cable seems good quality, the clips actually hammered in without bending, the dish feels well made, even the included sat finder feels reassuringly strong.I'm really happy and recommend this to everyone.
