Irish newbie needs Advice

[dicey2]

Evening all!

My name is Eamon and Im from Ireland

Can I start off by saying Im new to all this and only been researching different satellite options for the last week. And I have to say its a minefield out there!!

Im paying ?120 a month to sky for its full package which as you know includes movies and sports. I also have the HD option and order 4/6 movies a month

So like everyone im fed up with this. I been looking at some solutions and have narrowed it down to 2

Clarke-Tech Xtrend ET9200 HD Twin Tuner Linux IP Package Price 100cm Motorised D

and

VU+ DUO HD Twin Tuner Linux IP Package Price 100cm Motorised Dish Pack FREE UK D

Now forgive me if this had been covered before but which has the most features and what are the cons of these boxes

My requirements are the following:-
Premiersip games
Heineken cup
XXX
HD
Pause/REwind live TV
7 day progamme guide
Series link
Hard drive
Ability to insert subcription cards
UK Terrestial channels
and Finally Irish Terrestial channels which are now available on a service over here called Saorview http://www.saorview.ie/

I might even hold out for this box
VU+ ULTIMO Triple Tuner HD PVR DVB-S2/S2 DVB-T DVB-C Receiver

Also what is cardsharing?

PLease help a newbie who hasnt a clue!!

I haven't got either of thse boxes but have a look in here to give you some idea, if you don't find what your looking for make a post and ask Clarke Tech Extrend HD Recievers
VU+ Duo & Solo
Cardsharing is where you share yur card with other people and they share theirs with you or you pay someone to view their card. It's against the rules here to talk about it but there are plenty of forums around where you can find all the info you need, welcome to DK

so after doing more research it would seem the xtrend 9200 is the box for me.

or should i wait for the ultimo??
