I am thinking you will get a much better response to your question if you copy and paste it over in the techies part of the forum. Lots more people look in over there

I have recently purchased a complete kit from "SatPlus" (no affiliation) and found them extremely helpful.

There are a variety of configurations and equipment available to suit most requirements and price ranges.

I got the folding fibreglass dish with all the wiring etc but i opted for a TV set with the Vast decoder inbuilt rather than put a decoder box in the van and use an old TV set. My kit also has the satellite finder which makes tuning the dish a breeze....setting it up takes around a minute to align the dish.

I also bought from "Access Antennas" (again, no affiliation) a fixed pole in the shape of an "S" bend to mount the dish on rather than using the tripod. I will use the tripod when trees and other obstacles pose to be a problem when searching for a signal. The "S" bend pole can be fixed to either the front or the rear of my van via two jockey wheel brackets..one each end.
