dreambox satellite is nothing like cable.. cable dreamboxes boxes are plug and play, satellite is not.. if you want the 500s to open sky forget it, its not open like VM and never will be..

dreambox 500s is best used to open european broadcasters.. its far more complex and needs excellent IT skills..

with the right reading and also googling cardsharing you will be able to receive said channels.. most europeans dual broadcast the audio so with the press of a button the shows are in english
