Question Newbie Needs Helps to Purchase Satellite Receiver

Hi Good people,
Am looking forward to buying satellite receiver that I can use with my current sky mini dish. Which receiver would you recommend that would enable me watch these channels;

1. News (Sky News, CNN, Bloomberg, CNBC, Fox News etc)
2. Discovery & National Geography channels
3. Kids channel ( Nick Jr, Cartoonito, Pop, Tiny Pop, etc)
4. XXX rated channels
5. Sports channel

I am willing to spend up to £100.00
All ideas welcome
Thanks

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E /19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S


The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue

A sky digibox & subscription would be the best bet for the UK pay channels

Several of those channels are fta though so any digital receiver will work for you.

You will need to spend more money on the receiver and on the viewing of channels, even if you are thinking of free viewing, which I doubt if can get them all with English audio.
You can consider a second hand receiver as people discover soon enough the limitations of what they bought and they upgrade to a receiver with more functions.

You don't need to spend any money to buy a receiver for Sky pay channels. If you subscribe to Sky and meet their terms and conditions you will get one for free.
