I think your son in law must have had a rogue one.
These units are mostly factory refurbished units and usually get very good reports from people who buy them.
If my Humax were to throw in the towel one day, I would be very tempted to get one.
I think this thread is just turning into a childish no brainer!
You prefer a cheap receiver and I have no need of a signal finder whatsoever, cheap or expensive, so why don’t we just agree to differ and leave it at that?
I suggest we now leave the OP to make up his mind and simply be kind enough to let us know what equipment he finally decides on.
On a different thread a few days ago on a similar subject I wrote :-

It can be done the way I suggest for £75.

Difficult to argue with you if you cannot even subtract 129 from 250 to get 121 instead of 81 !!!
It also likely that someone with a Humax box at home will take it laden with all it's HD recordings with them in their caravan, so they don't have to buy anew.
Also the OP will not be buying a tripod since he intends to fix the dish to a pole in the place of the jockey wheel.
Personally I think that the site owners might require a jockey wheel in case of fire
Yep I wouldn't like to go without a jockey wheel but you can get U Clamps to fasten a satellite mount to the existing jockey wheel.
The other obvious disadvantage of the jockey wheel mount is that if you are on a pitch where the front of the van doesn't point roughly south then you've had it for dish alignment.
Granted I can't add up - it comes from being kept in captivity these days and not allowed out to play darts!

Are you blaming the complete lack of 5 darts matches for your lack of numerical understanding ?
I would suggest sharp practice in costing in an already owned Humax box,
Also tripods when the OP defined jockey wheel support.
Perhaps you need a lie down !
