[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 506168, member: 256551"] Hi, It depends what channels you want to watch. If you just want to watch the free to air channels from 28E then any digital satellite receiver would be OK. If you want channel4 or channel5 you currently need a Sky Digibox and FTV card. The French still use analogue satellite, so you have to make sure you get a digital one. A lot of the cost differentials are due to make, whether they have a PVR, are HD capable,Card slot, CAM slot. But for 28E FTA SD channels all you need is a FTA digital satellite receiver. Yes the LNBs for Ku band are generic, you need a Universal LNBF for an offset dish. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
