It's just another way of saying you're connecting to a pay server, to receive channels, via card sharing.

There are other receivers available, that do pretty much the same, but if going for a Spiderbox try one of the HD versions.

Why not contact Ian, at Southern Satellites, he could probably help you to decide what to get.

What satellite equipment do you currently have? Dish size, motor, multiple LNB's?

The "Gift" is a Cardshare of a few non-Sky and non-NDS channels. No use if you are looking for Sky only.

Can the gift on these boxes be updated after the year is up? Or is it a case of buying a new box.?

No they can't, but you don't need to buy a new receiver, just learn to use the features, in the receiver, which you should do by the time the gift runs out.

Thanks. Yeah I can use them with ease I have my own server. The thing is tho there are some good cards on the Spiderbox and if an update were available at reasonable cost it could cheaper/better than a share.
