We bought a complete system in a case off ebay, cost 80 quid including postage.
Turns out it was from Lidl, the one they were selling a few months back (we tried to get one at the time but they had sld out) anyway, fair price still..
The site we have our van on has crap TV reception,
I went up on boxing day and took the system with me, I attached the dish to the jockey wheel, and it came with the digibox which went in the van.
you also get a sat compass, which attaches to the dish and you align it in a general fashoin using that.
I must admit though the exact lining up is time consuming, it has to be bang on to get reception, and at one point I nearly through the whole thing in the river!! But just take your time move it mm by mm and you will get there.
In fact because it was so windy, I regulary had to re align it in the morning and it became very easy after a while, one tip is to make sure you can see the TV through the window.
Once it was set up the picture quality is fantastic, and you get millions of channells!!
The only one down side is you dont get CH4 or CH5.
I am assuming thr maplins one is the same anyway, but if you want a link to the one i got off ebay let me know.
hope the above helps
