    Just a tip, don't expect to get sky without a card unless you are going the cs route.

        sky use astra 28.2 but as said by manic dont expect to get their channels to open for free, it will need a valid subscription or cs.

            Load Pli Jade 3 and then load Sky Bouquets using a program called Dreamboxedit.

                Hi
                I have FTP UK Sky Tv files to dreambox from pc but when i check my D600 there are not there.
                What am i doing wrong? It says it had sent them but i have send a reload command manually as something fails!

                I am using Pli jade3, Service and bouquets files in/var/tuxbox/config/enigma/, and user bouquets files in /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/, satellite files in /var/etc/.
