My System: DreamBox 7000s - Nokia Freeview - Several GameBoys - DS Lite - ZX81 - SNES - N64 - Sega Saturn Dreamcast - PlayStation - Gamecube - PSP - iPod - iPhone - XBox - PS3 - Wii - No Life!

Most of, if not all, of the channels you list are paid for.

If you want to spend money - and a lot of time - then a Dreambox has the ability to receive what you want - no guarantees - the availability can change daily and you WILL have to put in a LOT of effort.

If you have the money, and the time, play around with a Dreambox 500 'the cheapeset in the range'.

The best information is here - check out the Dreambox threads.

It is basically a computer connected to a satellite receiver, it runs on the Linux operating system, it can be programmed to use various 'images' that can be modified to use software CAMs (Conditional Access Modules) and software cards to access Channels that would normally require hardware.

They are complex, and require a lot of comuter knowledge - all here - but well worth it.

No guarantees to what you will see.
