Humax hd box and old sky dish, but want more channels ?

[worcestersauce]

Hi guys, as in title, got a humax hd box and run it on an old sky dish, all working fine.

Now as we all know the freesat tv at the minute is sh*te, is there any way of getting lots of other channels (english or otherwise and other content ) and more importantly FREE !!

I know theres motorised dishes etc just wondered if theres anything to be got with my existing set-up ????

Thanks guys n gals

I think you are probably wasting your time with your present setup , apart from what you are already getting

that is my opinion anyway , and nothing is for "free"

if you had a cable feed then i would have mentioned kryptview 780 no sub,but as ram says thats about all your going to get with what you have free,mention funds and a new box opens the gates a lot wider.

Thanks for the replies........

what kind of cable feed do you mean, as i have got a cable feed from virgin for my broadband if that helps ???

And what kind of funds are we talking for "other" means ( doesnt need to be the dogs nuts of a set-up just the basic equipment i need for other stuff........any advice much appreciated

Thanks again

aha,see what a question pops up ,a vm feed should work into the coaxial input which now be an f connector,you will also need a lan/internet feed for decryption of channels.no funds needed as its all paid for when you buy this box.
sat you would need a hd box as most are now hd,or if you want to record a twin tuner which would need 2 cable feeds from your lnbs from dish,to open all the channels to view you would have to card/share [ use google ]make a payment monthly or whatever to them.
card sharing is a taboo subject not talked about here in this forum.

most important bit all new boxes need a lan port to work.

i am glad you had a digivox and not a starview ,you will go far.

[worcestersauce]

And is the kryptview the best or now i been reading about, is the starview 7 better...or are they the same...................getting excited now !

Thanks for your help

[worcestersauce]

And wheres the cheapest place to buy one ?

[cactikid]

with starview you have to pay extra to view,google dc receivers

[tubs]

buy kv for now its the best on market you will be happy with it cost around ?150 even less if you have a look around

Not worth it, but ?100+ + for a box worth ?10. Free could be
gone anytime so it's a gamble
