I have read and read and managed to get this set up!!!!!!!
There are no clear instructions out there so here is a high level summary for wannabe sat users:
1) Get a satellite. If you just want Sky UK, then get a sat dish off ebay, Zone 1, it can be fixed rather than motorised.
2) Set it up on your wall outside. Use a Sat meter to help you find where to point the dish. There is a website out there (cant remember name of it) that will help you angle the dish - eg it uses google maps, you find your house on google maps, mark on it where you will put the dish, and it will draw a line of wehere it needs to face. This helps as I aligned mine with the house over the road roof.
3) Now on your starview Combo LAN box, download the firmware - Carling is for both Sat and Cable. (Groove rider is JUST cable)
4) Now you need a cline (server details) - get a test line from a website. This data can either be imported in via config file or manually input. This is done via MENU, ACCESSORY, NETWORK, SERVER SET UP. The cline will either be a CCCAM or NEWCAM option.
Get a Test line first - about ?1 for a day (the free ones on google search don't work). Use it to see if you are happy with the quality of cahnnels and no freezing
If you want help just ask and ill try my best - i know how it feels
