    Changed from cable to sattelite, what box to get?

    Hi,
    Have recently moved home and unable to take cable with me, previously had starview the box super usb and found that brilliant.
    Have just had sky +hd put in but really now want a box that does what my starview used to do . Can anyone help? What is the best thing to get? and where?
    Many thanks,

      Your cheapest option is probably the dreambox DM500s but it's not as easy as just screwing your cable in and you've got every channel. You'll need to do some research on how to recieve all the channels you were before.

          If you could afford the VU+ Duo, its def worth the money(?379) all the features of sly+ HD with c/s option!
          Def the best stb I've had, very stable and realible!!
          Whatever!!

                      Plenty. Just use the search box or look in the forums or ask a specific question

                      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'.

                          you could share your card from main sky box to your bedroom if you get a clone dm500 (?50) will get you all normal sd channels , not very good epg tho , or if your sky sub is HD , you could get a dm800 clone (?170), will receive all thats on your sky sub , obviously there is more expensive boxes out there , but for your needs and a learning curve , these 2 should do fine ,
                          either way you choose , the days of plug+play free tv are over mate , you gonna need to do bit of reading , most on this site are willing to help , more so if your willing to help yourself , good luck
