    Which Dreambox?????

    Hi guys. I've had a starview on cable for a few months but im moving to a no cable area so I will have to get sat. What I need to know is what box do I need for sat that will do the same job as Starview did on cable? Cheaper the better, I dont care for features. Thanks in advance.

    Short answer is none will. If you want sky best bet is get a dreambox and look into card sharing. Thsats the only way your gonna get sky m8

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

        No m8 satellite doesn't work like that. Do a Google for "card sharing" Talk is banned in here m8 but theres plenty of info around

            if you want sky then get a subscription.. dont waste your time buying a dreambox just for sky, their encryption is 100x better than virgin's current effort.. you picture will freeze and break all the time.. ebay is full of dreamboxes bought for sky

              Mate if you invest in a motorised setup you will realise that there is thousands of other channels with content million times better than sky!

                More of the same

                Hi There,

                Like Sixstrings i've just moved from a cable area to a new place which has a communal (SLY) aerial. I have no access to the dish nor can i install my own.

                What are my options for getting satellite TV. ?
                I;m more interested in movies (including ~~~~os ) than football or sports.

                I had a Dreambox 500c at my old place, would it be worth getting a 500s for here or are they outdated now. ?

                  there is not a lot you can do as the communal sat dish pionts to 28e which only has sky on it.The ~~~~ is on every other sat but 28e.The only way is to buy a sky card as sky cant be hacked

                    Thanks for the quick reply firestorm.

                    i kinda figured i was out of luck with not being able to access the dish.

                    I guess i'll give Virmin a call and dig out my old 500c.
