Which should you choose?
Honestly: it depends on your property, how many rooms you need and your budget — the right answer for a single-lounge household is different from a four-room home or a guesthouse. We install both Skyworth and StarSat, so the recommendation you get from us is based on what fits, not what's on the shelf.
