[QUOTE="Topper, post: 138368, member: 186250"] Types, well thousands of brands clones rebadges etc too many from too many different countries. Basically there is analogue and digital No Sky digital receivers have limitations regarding SR 22000, 27500 whereas standard digital stb's have unlimited permuations of SR There are only two flavours digital and analogue. Analogue is like terrastrial being phased out. Sky digital is only unique in so far as the encryption sytem is secure and even FTV channels need a card to view. A non Sky satellite digital receiver will recieve any digital signals from any satellite on the Clarke curve provided that the lnb is good enough and the dish size is sufficient and the receiver tuner is good enough to translate the signal received into a coherent visual and audio experience. This is dependant on the aforementioned equipment and the the transmited footprint of the transponder. Forget analogue buy a digital receiver, I would recommend a technomate 1500 CI which has a cam slot and is flashable, there is a lot of information on the site just do a search for technomate 1500 CI Yes you will be able to buy the card but buying a Sky receiver from Ebay carries certain risks unless you are clued up on Ebay and satellite receivers Hopefully I just have [/QUOTE]
