Noob, advice needed

[Yesevil79]

Not sure this is in the correct topic, so apologies for that.....


Just wondering if anyone can help.

I'm looking at drastically reducing my virgin media monthly bills, currently pay ?104 a month due to the fact that to have BT Sport you have to have the most expensive package that they offer.

Anyway.....

I'm looking at buying an openbox (or a variant if anyone can recommend the best box for me), it will only be used to get sports channels, sky, Bt etc

My questions at present are thus:

1. which is the best type of box if I dont want a dish and want to use my VM cable?

2. would I just use a splitter to run one cable to my VM box and one to my open box?

I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions once I have answers to these initial two, so many thanks for your help in advance and apologies as I'm a complete noob to these boxes (although I do have a tech background).

Cheers for taking the time to read this

There are a number of choices, it becomes a personal preference. I use clone Dreambox 800HDse with OpenPli 4
Using a splitter can sometimes present issues. I feed direct to Dreambox and put VM box in a cupboard
