    which sat box to buy, new to sat boxes

    got a eurovox for home with cable, generally ok but needs flashing.
    my enquiry is about a sat box to go with the 60cm portable dish for my caravan.
    when i go away i set up my dish for the astra 2A,B satallite and connect my freesat box up, everything is ok. i get over 600 channels
    Is there a sat box that i could use with my dish to get the same channels i do with my eurovox.
    would i still set the dish up for astra 2A,B
    thanks for help

    sky is not open like virgin media they use an encryption called NDS which is very very secure

        yes but most european broadcasters (Sky UK, Sky D, Sky IT, Canal+ ESP, Canal+ NL, Nova, Polsat, Cyfra+.. etc) use high end encryption so keys and patches dont work like they do on cable TV..

        To open up Sat TV you need to google cardsharing as it's a banned topic here..

        Its complex and nowhere near as easy as setting up cable boxes
