Crumbs no, don't buy a Ross kit. You get exactly what you pay for - bargain basement kit with no EPG worth speaking of and no possibility of additional services like iPlayer.

For the sake of a few quid, you are far better off with branded Freesat kit.

Have a look at Maplin online for satellite extension kits - I got a quad lnb, connectors and cable for IIRC £20. The only thing I would recommend in addition is a reel of self-amalgamating tape to make the connections on the lnb properly weatherproof.
