Help me, Lazyweb, you're my only hope...

I am looking to get some kind of aerial rigged on the Carpathia as I am beginning to suffer from random TV show withdrawal. It's not too bad at the moment, but there are times when I plonk myself in front of the telly that some mindless fare is called for and I can't frankly be arsed to put a DVD on.

To this end, I have been looking at the possibility of just getting Freesat and not bothering with a traditional aerial. Curry's Digital in Victoria quoted me £80 for the digibox, dish and installation. This seems rather too good to be true, as I paid £150 at the Athenaeum just to get a bloke on the roof and rewire an existing standard aerial.

Does anyone have any useful knowledge in this area, or is Freesat still too new for a bedrock of knowledge and folk lore to have been laid down?
