[QUOTE="robert_s, post: 138426, member: 196454"] Thank you for your answers toppervte33h. Question regarding your answer for my question no 5 in my previous post. 1.You recommend buying technomate 1500 CI digital receiver which is not a SKY receiver (is it?). Now will I be able to watch SKY channels if I wish with this receiver? 2. I am not sure if I understand the difference between digital receiver or SKY digital receiver. Sky Digital receiver is just an ordinary digital receiver but is locked to any other non-SKY channels. I mean it only accepts SKY channels. (like T-MOBILE phone wont be able to accept Orange or Vodafone network to force customers to stay with T-mobile. Is it correct comparison?) and normal digital receiver (Non-SKY) like you recommended technomate is not associated with any network (free from any limits) and is able to pickup any channel from any satellite including SKY channels (If I purchase SKY card?) Is it correct? 3. Last Question :) If I buy the Technomate TM1500 CI or any newer model (if exists) or any other make, will I be able to watch those free UK channels (Channel 4,5 etc..) or I will have to buy a card. if so what card is it? I guess this model is a multi-card reader. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
