My System: TM6800HD+TD110+StabHH90 motor,TM1000D+Orbital 1m Multifeed 16E,23E,28E.DigitAlB movies. A Bigsat BS-S77CX and a Sky Dodgibox. | Any digital satellite receiver would be fine for the free to air channels. I think the (BBC) Freesat receivers are on sale now, they had them on the Comet website for £50 recently. For the encrypted ones you need a Sky Digibox or some other suitably eqipped hobbiest receiver. Robbo

My System: SkyHD | Hi there just plug an old sky box in and see if you get anything, at worst the LNB cound be a bit weathered but are real cheap to pick-up (fleabay) and are easy to replace. As a sky tech i would say the chances are good that it will work just fine. Good luck. | ||
