Complete openbox noob!!

[delambo]

Hi all,

I am an absolute noob when it comes to all things satellite - I have always just been happy with freeview, and renting blurays from blockbuster BUT...

I am just about to move house to an area where my nearest movie rental shop is 15 miles away, I do not have an ariel on the house - only a dish and I have just bought a new 3dtv. So I figure if I have to spend money on an ariel and and find the time to fit it I might as well just buy an openbox and be done with it. My questions are:

1) Where is the best place to buy a box?
2) I believe there is a way to get all the Sky channels (including movies) without paying - how do I do this?
3) Is it worth getting a motorised dish (and what are the advantages)?
4) Can I get any 3d channels on these boxes and if so how?
5) Are these boxes reilable? Until now I have been using a home made media centre with windows7 MCE which spends more time broken than working and the wife is getting a bit fed up with not being able to watch her cr@p on the telly

Thanks in advance for your help.

(1) Anywhere that guarantees they dont sell Clone models would be best place to buy from.. So dont try and save a few quid when buying, ensure the seller guarantees it isnt a clone..
(2) You naughty boy, yes you can, but you'll need to google & read up on terms like "CCcam" and "Cardsharing" as discussion on these matters dont happen in this forum..
(3) Only if you really want foriegn TV channels, wider selection of Movies to watch, Sports that aint shown in the UK & european hardcore adult channels
(4) Apparently yes, but I dont have 3D telly, only my eyes are 3D at the moment.
(5) Mine is reliable, cheap as chips but does the job very well indeed.
