[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 730226, member: 176362"] [B]Please note we do not permit any cable discussion on this forum - so I will ignore that aspect of the questions[/B] The standard boxes from Sky UK allow Joe Public access to hundreds of channels without having any technical knowledge whatsoever. You take it out of its delivery carton, connect it up and away you go. Its idiot proof. They all operate the same so one in the Channel UIslands will be set up exactly the same as one in the Shetland Islands. A Dreambox / linux receiver is a high end enthusiasts receiver which is infinitely customisable. You can do all sorts of interesting things with them, BUT they take a long time to learn how they work under the bonnet - you dont take one out of its box and get the best out of it until you have spent hundreds of hours delving "under the bonnet", broken it a few times, and fixed it. You can watch encrypted Sky channels - but you will still need a subscription :D [/QUOTE]
