skystar 2 hd usb

[Witch]

Hi people.
Well this is my first post, So ill get the vaseline ready :-~

Ok heres a question or two that I could do with some advice on if i may.

I have only a sky dish and also have just adopted a Technosat skystar2 HD usb which appears to have a CI slot.
Now I am wondering before I install anything, if its best to get diffrent drivers or software. Or is the bundled software usefull. ?:

I would like to view more channels, I guess there will be many locked ones. do i need a cam or can I and I view channels with software cams? So any advise on the best software and advice, will make my day :-)

All Sky channels will be locked apart from the FreeSat FTA ones.

If you want to use your DVB-S card to view Sky then you'll either need to buy a card reader and insert an original subscribed Sky Card or setup a cardshare server and connect to a remote card.
