Im looking into getting a new satellite setup as I feel im getting completly ripped off by sky now but am quite new to all this and have only just started researching it so am after some advice and a few questions answering.
I have seen various packages offered for sale but am thinking of going with a motorised dish setup using a Technomate receiver, either the 1000D or 1500. Are these receivers a good choice or is there a better solution around and can anyone tell me the difference between the two?
I start getting confused when people start talking about cams and patching the boxes. Am I right in thinking that the cam is required to watch encrypted channels? If so, can I watch any channels wthout a cam, why are there various different ones and do these come built into the box or do I have to buy them seperatly? Also what is the point of patching the box, is this for software upgrades or for reprogramming the cam to enble me to watch more channels?
Finally the main reason I want to get this setup is for premiership football so was looking at the Digitalb supersport card but do I actually need to get this card or can I find the english football by searching one of the other satellites and re-programming one of the cams?
Sorry for all the questions but just trying to get my head round all this and want to be sure im getting the right thing!
