Product Description
This kit provides everything you need to connect up your Sky digibox or Freesat receiver. It includes the new Zone 2 Raven Sky satellite dish and the latest compact Zinwell Sky quad LNB, along with brackets and four bolts for wall mounting (if you want to pole mount it you need the V-bolt which is an optional extra). The Zone 2 dish is larger for better reception and general performance. The LNB is fitted with the new bracket for this dish which holds it securely with no "wobble". The 20m of Twin cable is CT63, highest quality approved cable, along with 4 F-connectors, 20 double cable clips and 12" of self amalgamating tape for a final waterproofed finish. We also include a wall cover plate and hole tidy grommet for a professional finish. The kit components are matched for guaranteed performance. We also include our Satgear alignment instructions and dish setup diagram. The Zone 2 dish is designed for use with the UK Astra 28 satellitle in Scotland and Ireland, and used in England and Wales it will pick up other European satellites - if you want to receive those channels. It is ideal for upgrading to Sky+ or Freesat where you want to provide extra capacity to watch up to four channels at a time on dual-tuner boxes (Sky+ or Humax HDR Freesat+) or just to add additional receivers.

Mine arrived quickly and was a doddle to put up. Aligning it was a bit more time consuming but not especially difficult. It would be easier to make fine adjustments by putting washers on the key clamping bolts as the brackets will inevitably get moved a little by the action of tightening bolts, less so with washers. Though I couldn't be bothered even when I realised this! I think the quality of the kit is extremely high when you think this only costs £50, which is why I've given 5 stars despite the following extremely minor niggles;
- it would be good to have had some 6mm washers
- the self-amalgamating tape had kind of amalgamated and wasn't usable - but having already read that the amount supplied was on the short side I'd already bought a roll so this wasn't a problem. The kit would be better if it came with the shortest roll available
- I would have liked 6 F-connectors: 2 for connecting to the LNB with the other end of the cable going to a wall socket, leaving 4 to make up a twin flylead from the cable offcut. I bought a pack of extra F-Conectors based on the 'most buy these together' recommendation but they were the wrong size for the satgear cable.
- my kit arrived with the assembly instructions missing, an oversight by satgear. They quickly emailed me the instructions, but as assembly is in any case pretty obvious I'd already mounted the dish. However the instructions (by Raven) aren't that brilliant around alignment, it would have been really helpful to have had a simple graphic showing which bracket faces to use as datums for setting angles. Personally in the end I just ignored all the angles stuff and went by what my humax pvr told me was a decent signal.
Elsewhere in the reviews for satgear kits there are some complaints that the brackets aren't robust enough, that the mounted dish isn't rock solid etc. I disagree; as a sheetmetalworker I rate the quality of the brackets, for sure you could use heavier guage material and so on but that would be overkill. If the mounted dish is a bit wobbly I'd suggest moving it down the pole, and in any case mounting the L pole with the long side vertical.

Arrived on time as promised. Build quality and instructions were excellent.One small criticism- could have used a bit more of the self amalgamating tape.

I bought this satellite dish package having never used one before. Putting the dish together was more simple than the instructions would suggest. All the mounting bolts are included for fixing to a wall, as is plenty of twin cable (20m) to connect a twin tuner to the dish. The dish has 4 connectors, so we have 2 spare for additional tuners as we get them. We used a satellite finder to help with the fine adjustments and it all worked perfectly! Now to enjoy the World Cup in glorious HD!!
