    New to all this satellite stuff please help.

    Right I really dont know where to start im a total noob, basically I would like to watch premiership football 3pm KO's etc. I dont have any equipment at the minute so would like to know what I need, I want a motorised system ideally with HD as possible option, I am wondering how much ? I need to get such a system and also if anyone know of anyone in the leicestershire are who could help with installation.

    Cheers in advance.

    At this moment in time the best box is probably a dreambox500s clone, you wil need a dish which is about 80cm facing 1west to open the digitv package..this package is currently open with keys but is soon to be changing encryption..this receiver is not hd..a hd dreambox is about 420gbp...if you want
    A cheap hd box look at the Technomate 6800super which is also capable of cardsharing via lan..

              Nope, the 1000series, 5000 and 3000are capable of sharing through null modem cable and the only non linux Technomates which can cardshare via lan is the super version of the 6000..
              A motorised setup is hard to setup but well worth it..check out wizardsatellite and hqsatellite for the best prices on setups!
