[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 65740, member: 177511"] 1)You can see a full list of satellite and the channels here... [url]http://www.lyngsat.com/[/url] Some are FTA (free to air) you don't need a card etc - some are coded. If they are this is listed beside each channel. The site will tell you what size dish you will need depending on your location. So check the channels you want, the size of dish plus if they are encoded. 2) A large selection of recievers exists and each has it's own advantages/disadvantages. Have a look at the magazine 'What Satellite' and you'll get a better understanding. Each receiver will have it's own fans, check the different forums on this site. 3) You don't need a card for the FTA channels, you can get hundreds of them if you pick the right satellite position. If you want to decode other channels, again this can be done with Card, CAM (Conditional Access Module) combinations or a box that doesn't need these but is a bit complicated and needs computer experience. Remember that unless you use an official card the reliability of the channels you decode is not guaranteed and they may not remain receivable. Sky is not available without and official card and receiver. [/QUOTE]
