    the dbox comes in two variants, ones with a cable tuner, and ones with a sat tuner. you obviously need the latter. As far as i know the tuners are not easily interchangeable.

    Never had any experience with a sat setup, but i don't think it's as straightforward as cable.

    also you know this thread is in the cable section and not the satellite one don't you?

      the standard skydish points at 28.2e which if you hook dbox up to that all you'll get is the likes of bbc,itv,bbc3,pop, the hits, you wont get channels 4 or 5 without a card, also all the premium channels on that particular bird you will not receive without a valid sub as sky is not hacked, you could however point the dish at 19.2e and germanys equivilent of slyuk which is premiere, however it is rumoured to be going to nagra3 soon so you will also need a card for that soon
