@ Dos

Do you have a S*y dish already??

If not you will need one and either a set top box reciever or a pc satellite card to view/listen to content.

If you want a greater selection of channels a motorised unit is great or even a mono block. (my preference would be the motorised unit (£50+), cheaper in the long run).

In regards to receivers there are various options (you could try looking at What Satellite and Digital TV magazine) or better still ask members here...advice is 'Free' !!

S*y have an 'One-Off' package which retails for £150 including installation, with that you get hooked up to a particular satellite and can view ITV,C4......More4 and some of other 'Free To Air' (or is that Free to View) channels plus great reception on radio stations.

Given that cost, it's not that much more as pointed out earlier to have a DIY system which would give you more selection.

Most of known brands ie Technomate, Humax, Samsung, Fortec Star etc all can be updated using 'patches' available here (Technomate) or on the net.

You do not need a Smart Card for this at present as 'patches' are available.
