    new to sat stuff help please

    repoted from intro site.......I have only had satellite TV for the last 10 years in Spain...and that was Freesat ...now you know why my learning genes have turned on again after many years ..
    I no nothing about the Linux clad top boxes available so with a bit of help you will cram my brains... OK read "technomate vs Dreambox threads on here and other forums and concluded (rightly or wrongly) I should go for dreambox 5402 or the like but NOT a clone ....or should I have a crack at this exercise with a cheap clone first ?
    what are the first,simplest advantages of having this type of box ? What the slots for? (obviously I know I have to pay for some viewing as well as FTA( Unfortunately none of my mates (or children ) have embarked on this sat box route so no-one to ask 1 to 1.. my 1.2 dish is at 28.3 ish as was freesat ... so what now ? I feel sure there is stuff out there to be seen ..in...English language /films/drama/documentory.. no adult stuff ...seen it all ....your starter for a bit of help please ,especially jargon busting ...I'm OK with HDMI/SCART but not PID'sand all the other programming bits .....No rush ,I'm lucky enough to be retired so in your own time .....many thanks in advance

    Reading all the Satellite Section should give you enough information so you experience brain Matter overload, Basically everything your asking has been discussed to death countless times before and from your own summary about doing research this would be the obvious place to start. As well as the Forum Rules
