Easiest to use box?

[Marii]

What is the easiest box to use? I've read lots of topics on the forum since yesterday and getting quite confused with 'card share' and 'cline.'

Is there a box which can be used straight out of the box?
I'm only after childrens channels (Disney) and FTA.

you wont get any scrambled channels like disney or cartoon n/w or boomerang or nick "straight out of the box"

the reason is that they are encrypted and its illegal to decode them without a subscription card, meaning nobody will "patch" a box to get them and in any case it needs cs generally meaning you pay somebody for the "service" which again is illegal and cannot be talked about

any digital satellite box will give you FTA channels however, like cbbc , cbeebies and citv (so will a freeview terrestrial box or tv too)

easy boxes to setup and use that I know of are blade bm7000s , spiderbox 7000 or 9000 and tm5402, possibly an openbox or an eagle if money is tight but my top 3 easy boxes are the ones I mentioned

so its important to know that when you buy a box for this "hobby", its up to you to do the maths and research it, program it and do the work required of the "hobbyist"

if you want one that works straightaway and is legal, its called SKY and can be obtained from sky direct from their website or by telephone
this "subbed" option will get you the childrens channels on the basic family pack

hope that explains the basics

Thank you ramjet. Think basic Sky channel package is my only option.

Just out of curiousity. Is cs illegal too?

yes it is, which is why its not discussed

the only LEGAL options are to subscribe to the broadcaster you wish to view, whoever that might be

so for the uk its sky or virgin, or BT vision, or topuptv on freeview

Thanks ramjet.
