yes a satellite dome will set you back around a £1000 or more and a larger automatic satellite dish typically 85cm will cost in the region of £1800 .
Dome are very limited as they only have small internal dishes typically 45cm where as the larger 85cm dishes have a better reception further into Europe

It's a Tevion. Popular brand in Germany.
I have the aerial cable wired through my gas bottle locker and it takes me less than 4 minutes to set up. Yep, I timed it one day....
Given up trying to break the 3 minute barrier though!

I too use a tevion set up and find that the satfinder that came with it does the job fine. One thing Idid do was mark the side of the dish mounting bracket so that the angle is set for uk You may find if you do that motley you can break the 3 minute barrier

Nice one Doug!
I lost the original compass/finder that came with it so I bought cheap boy scouts one from a local outdoor shop.
