the hardest part is setting up the dish m8....box is easy.
cams decrypt the channels....out of curiosity what are you planning on getting from satellite?PS3= krazylegz120282

if its genuine sky hes after then unfortunately its not hacked so only a valid subscription or cardshare will work....at the minute the only really good package thats hacked is digitv on 1w but thats going to nagra3 soon so its decision time...do you join a cardshare which the hardest part is finding a good stable one as a lot freeze more times than a eskimo pi$$ing in the artic....other than that you would need a receiver with a CI (cam) slot and invest in a cam and programmer but still sky wont open with a cam.PS3= krazylegz120282

depends on what you want.
your current sky minidish will only be of any use for uk sky on 28.2e satellite/
if you want a motorised setup...probs bout ?200ish for a setup, could be extra if you want to join a cardshare as you need a linux based receiver for this.....if you want a cam then probs bout ?100 ish for the cam and programmer....then a lot of cardshares you've either got to pay a small monthly subscription or share back a cardPS3= krazylegz120282

for cardshare you'll need a linux based receiver and to join a cardshre...but as stated the hardest part is finding a good one that wont keep freezing.
since dont directly all card sharing talk on here type it in google and see what the results are m8PS3= krazylegz120282

you will either need to cardshare or use your official card in, but tbh the sky box is better than any after market box for just using your official cardPS3= krazylegz120282
