Looking into getting one, Just wondering if anyone has one, and how they find it.
Any particular model that is a good one to go for?

Any help would be great

I have had a look at the website for these and they look pretty cool - just wondering if you know what sort of channel coverage you would get in NZ with a Sky sat
