Voxbox? You mean eurovox? Or spiderbox?

Enigma2 boxes that work on sat network is the way to go.

I'm going over to virgin cos my sky bills are around £80 a month. Virgins not that much cheaper but the TiVo box is better than sky + and they provide repairs service where sky charge.

While talking about Sky, does anyone know how to get the F1 without Sky now the BBC has ruined it for everyone. I'm not paying out for it but hoped there may be someone who knew how to get round it for the first 6 months at least.

all depends on what box you buy,if you want hd,pvr the more expensive,i would stay away from openbox had to many rebooting problems,dreambox ,VU+box ,blade media, all good boxes plus depends on what image you want to use with the box.

I have a dish that gets me 0.8 west, 4.8, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15.8,19.2 and 28.2 (sky) all in one. stuffed with an 8 way switch and 2 VU boxes mate. no monthly bills no hassle pay a guy in kosovo 80 quid a year.

That bit right there is why I will need some help, feel like I've stumbled across a new language. Does it all come through the dish? Whats the set up cost like?.

Thanks

Yep all comes through the dish but it will need a motor to point it at the different satellites then all you need is a receiver dreambox 500 or eagle box easy to set up for beginners oh and a internet connection. Setup cost would be roughly £150 ish depending if you want standard definition or HD and with a little patience and looking in the right places you wont have to give a kosovan £80 wink

Side Note : As good as the Dreambox can be also bare in mind, for the best results.

South Facing motorised Dish (i think its south) Not Cheap and you may have to pay an installer.

Configuration, can be painful as a newbiee to it, but there is lots of on line help.

Its a crackin set up once up and running. Its not easy to set up as a novice, but once up and running you will be amazed at choice.

Top tip
Ask the prices of the components, its not a cheap setup.

Free sat, could be your set up hassel free set up option if moving from sky as your dish is there, you just need to plug it in.

Hope that helps.

or you could go for a multiple lnb set up on a static dish,no need for a motor just depends on what sats you want to watch.try googling dishpointer it can tell you what sats you can get from your location.
