I'm looking for a satellite dish - 90cm or 100cm, maybe more, with LNB or twin LNB/multi LNB. Would consider second-hand. Info about mail-order sources in Germany/UK or direct sources in and around Hamburg would be useful. I have found a few, but consider the prices to be too high. I have a digibox, so I only need the dish and the usual extras - such as a special roof tile with dish adapter/clamp.
By the way, if anyone is considering doing the same and you are renting an apartment, you might need to know, that as a foreigner in Germany, you have the right to have access to TV programmes in your own language, even if your German neighbours have been refused permission to have a dish fitted. You will have to ask where you can fit the dish. If all else fails and you have a balcony, set the dish up, using a sun umbrella stand. If the dish was fixed to the building it could cause damage that your landlord could object to - this includes damage caused by lightening, so be careful as the dish may need to be earthed and insured. Using a sun umbrella, means that the dish is no longer a fixed object and has a different status in law. I am aware of at least 10 people who have managed to do this. So far they have had no objections. Sadly, I don't have a balcony... I have not confirmed all of the above, so take care not to go ahead without checking first.
