quick question

[sheeta]

Hi all.
I am considering to take the dive to get a satellite box for my room. we have a sky dish on the roof, but not a sky subscription, (have virgin now). will i still be able to use the 500s box to recieve freeview channels?

Thanks.

yes m8 but you get very many channels....even channel 4 and 5 are encypted

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

4 and 5 are free now mate. Krazylegz has been out of the scene for a while so i think he dont know yet.

thanks for quick reply, as long as i get more than nothing, freeview doesnt seem to have made it to me yet, and analouge tv is more snow than show.

Sheeta have u considered a 500c (cable) or one of the other equivalents.??.Having said that the 500s will get S*y and if u wanted to join a payserver

i did look a bit at the cable alternatives, but to do that would require far cable routing, lol. but i am scared of the dreambox's they seem to require more work, and seeing as i am a beginner.... unless i am missing some sort of advantage the dreamboxes have over a technomate!
