I was told by a friend in a forum to get the dreambox and he will take me through on what to do to get the channels but cannot him to respond. I am not well informed on this medium so, please give me all the help you can. Thanks

The best advice we can give you is to buy a proper subscription from Sky! :D

We will not help you get Sky from unauthorised sources.

Sub = legitimate subscription

Card share = illegal and risky way of getting Sky cheaper. Absolutely not recommended as you have no idea where the money is going - it could be the Mafia or other organised crime groups looking for easy income as far as you know.....

You will need a Sky box as well - they wont activate it in anything but a pukka sky receiver
