My System: Sky UK family pack. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (4.6E/5E/13E/16E/19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA (with dragon cam), Coship CDVB 2300A, Fortecstar Lifetime Ultra, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S, 2250kb  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | You will need an ex Yankee war machine decoder for the AFN broadcasts in Europe. Be prepared for as long and frustrating search for an authorised decoder - the ones on Ebay

My System: 3.7m & 1.8m Prodelin, 1.2m Andrew, Loads of receivers, Orbit & showtime & AFN. | I was ages trying to find one, but now i have one, the only down side is the pic qulity is very bad as they are cut and paste channels i do not use mine that much now, like analogesat said they do not come cheap, I was lucky as i got two of them from some one in the us army in italy in exchange so a sky uk receiver and card but i sold one the other week to some nice guy who works for BFBS i did try and get a BFBS decoder & card out of him but it did not work but i did get a user guide for the secret pace bfbs cryptoworks decoder from him i can post it up if any one is intrested,
