I am a newbie and haven't bought a satellite system yet.

I hope this question is in the right section as it sort of covers two areas.
My situation is this. I live in the Midlands and will soon be having my first satellite system installed - 1 metre, motorised dish and a Technmate 5400CI+Super as I want to receive some none FTA channels (mainly for sport including English Premier League football).
This is where I have a problem. Being a newbie, I have no idea if I should be using patches, softcams, Diablo cams or whatever.
Having read around for quite a while, I am assuming that patches/softcams and cams (eg the Diablo) are two different ways of receiving encrypted channels; or will I need a combination of all these to receive the football. If I purchase a Diablo cam (and CAS3+) will I still need to download patches and softcams for my receiver? Which is the best method to use for what I am wanting to watch.
Also, where on earth can I find the relevant files required as I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks
