    new to all of this!!!!!

    i am new to this satellite lark... but a few members of my family have got dishes up and my uncle revives Serbian TV without a subscription, he can get live epl football matches. basicly what i would like to know is what do i require to get the football and maybe some Italian channels to my home in north London without a subscription... ie.. what box and the dish.

    you need either a Dreambox, Spiderbox, VU+ or Protek

    each has their own pros and cons.. it will depend on your PC literacy as all the boxes need to have some sort of PC to Box file transfer.. they vary on levels of technical knowledge required..

    1m motorized dish is fine for North London

      thanks for your quick response... if you had to recommend a box for someone on a small budget which would you recommended..also would the footy be free to air or would i require a card?
      would somthing like a dreambox 500 do. and why do the boxes require the computer/internet?

          no its a free to air box that can't be patched or modified

          the boxes require the internet as they decrypt the channels online..

              Box cant get patched? surly they will find a way to do it?

              anywa. if the box runs from the internet would you need a modded net box or would a standard virgin media box do it? and would the channles keep lagging if its coming from the internet?

                Most any standard modem will work fine, there is no lag. Only certain satellite boxes can be used to do this. Google " cardsharing " as this can't be discussed here.

                  if i set up my dish with say a dream box 500, would i be able to get football from other countries that have it on fta channels?
                  if i did use this card sharing method i would get english channels free, but the game i wont is not always on in this country.

                    You won't get anything for free, you will have to pay for a subscpription or go down the c/s route. We can't discuss c/s here.
                    Google is your friend for that

                        Ask you're uncle what satellite he is pointed at and what channel he watches the pl on and then come back here and maybe we can advise you what you would need.
