El Cheapo Satellite setup

Hi all
My Parents are about to embark on an epic adventure around OZ and asked me if I could get them a satellite setup for their van.
This is what I came up with and though others might be interested.

Dreambox 500s clone recievever $170
65cm folding dish $50
LNB $25
Sat finder $22
Cable

Some cool things about this setup.
The receiver is very small about 25cm wide but best of all runs of 12 volts. The reciever also works with both their Foxtel card and Aurora card (very few boxes will work with a foxtel NDS card probably works with Austar as well but havent tested it)

Havent worked out how I will be mounting the dish yet it is currently clamped to a pole in my front yard for testing but might end up getting a tripod, have seen them for about $70 on ebay.

The dreambox is a linux based reciever you need to install different software on it depending what you want to do so its not the easiest to set up, but once everything is installed and configured just turn it on and off it goes.

Get this though, I can plug the dreambox into a laptop (via a network cable) and actually record programs to the laptop to watch later.

Have been expeirmenting with this box a bit and have managed to pick up Optus C1, D1 B3 and B1 these are all different satellites with some very interesting channels.

Most of the gear was found on ebay.
Cheers
