yep...technomate are the market leaders in the uk at present...as you can see, many people (even the majority) on this forum have technomate receivers.
with sky, you are very limited to channels and have to fork out a fortune to watch sports and movies (£35+ per month)...
with the technomate box, you can watch 1000s of channels for free (providing you have a motorised dish) in every single language you can think of.
for footy, there are 2 cards you can get (for a much lower fee of about £100 for a year) which are 100% better than sky as they show much more matches (both premiership and champions league) and lots of box office english movies.
the amount of channels available and the costs are well worth binning a sky box
