Newbie Questions

[asherzt]

Hi All,

Firstly im really sorry if I am asking questions which have already been asked time and time again. I have tried searching for the information but my head is currently scrambled by everything, so im going to ask them here.

I have been subscribed to virgin media for the last 3 years. I pick up there M+ TV package, 30MB Broadband and phone line.

Im going to be moving to a house shortly where i am looking to get the best i can from my TV packages etc. The new house has a standard S#y dish stuck on the front of the house, as well as the virgin cable feeds entering the house.


Ideally I would like to receive all channels, including movies and sky sports and also would like to get my hands on the American channels, im a big hockey fan so the NHL games would be ideal.


I have the following questions:


what's the best box/ ideal box that would hit my requirements?
Can i get all the channels i require?
Do i need a motorised dish?
what's the typical costing's?
Does anyone have this set up?
How does it work? Reviewed?

You won't get any US channels in the UK with satellite or cable, except from the standard ESPN etc. Your best off streaming US channels.

1 - The best box for price, reliability, usage etc is the SkyBox satellite series - i use the F3S.
2 - You can receive every channel that is available in the UK and Ireland.
3 - That's upto you, depending on which satellites tickle your fancy, i use 28A only.
4 - Providing you already have a dish, ?50 for the SkyBox F3S.
5 - I have a SkyBox F3S set up in 2 rooms.
6 - Same way as a normal Sky set up.

If you want to use a cable box, it's basically the same. Plug the box in, plug coax cables in, connect internet cable.
Move over to satellite and leave cable behind...

Can I stream via the box?

Do I need the sky/virgin cables to be live? i.e a subscription.

If I only have the one feed, how do I get another upstairs?
