Comag Porty II
Prima by Pace Analogue Satellite receiver with cardslot
Thomson SKY Digibox - (using a subscribed SKY viewing card but just basic channels - no Movies or Sports channels)

A quick overview is:

1. Use DreamUP to install a new image e.g. Gemini
2. Setup the communcation page
3. Connect it your network/PC
4. Install emus and keys
5. If you connect it to a PC, mount a drive on your PC and add a record button to your remote.

And read The Guide (several times). Trial and error ;)
