My System: English Sky DigiBox, but only freeview! We got it to get the BBCs and ITVs in crystal clear picture!
Newbie Help with Satellite Box!

My first thread... Wow!

I'm going to level with you all! I'm a student and I'm going into second year. I'm doing computer science but i've always been interested in electronics and technology. As a student, money is not always freshly available, I was wondering how I am going to get my fix of television while I'm away, without subscription. I know of a 'special' type of box that can receive everything and that requires only a one off fee for the box, and no monthly subscription fees. There is a sort of grey area in the legality but you get the idea.

What i'm looking for, is the name of the box, if I should get it and if its worth it! Any help is very much appreciated!

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs

Hello

Welcome to the forum g-whizz

Oh dear another blinded by his rose tinted glasses.

There is no such box, it is a figment of some moron's imagination, people unfortunately like to impress and in the process bullshit their friends about such miracle 'boxes' please take my word for it

There is no such animal never has been and never will be
