Alot of boxes available in the market!

starting from Dm 800HD (clone) 140 quid. Blade 7000 150 quid so on

Then there is the techno-mate etc etc.

100Cm is more then enough to watch the 3pm footy games.

Only thing is that its not free and you will need some kind of subscription, and that I will up to you to find out.

I assume if you just want 28.2 and 13 E then you can just stick in a Mono-block LNB and that would suffice.

However its better to put a motor instead if it is that big as you will have a wide variety of channels, Assuming it doesn't have a motor.

Here u go someone is selling it here: http://www.techwatch.co.uk/forums/10...tml#post598775

hi thank you for replying,

blade 7000hd sounds good. the 100cm dish i have has no motor so it would be a good idea to get one when i get my box, saves me moving it at 12pm to watch some think else lol,

a guy i new had satellite and said he watched all hes football free with one. said it was not sky was abroad channel showing english premier league.

if i need to pay for the sports i would have to get a satellite box with a sky card with sports channels to put into my satellite box.

or is there a better way of getting them, i asked sky for the sport channels but i had to get a package they said i.e kids or music with it plus sky sports hd i would need hd package as well, came to about £60+ witch i think is scandalous.

just been looking into all this satellite boxes, says you can use a dreambox with SatCard using CCcam 2.0.9 to card share using internet to get sky sports.

Thats correct but even to do that you still need something else and that you will need to find it yourself as we are not allowed to talk about it here mate.

And remember even that is not free in itself. You will still be required to pay some form of subscription towards it. cccam 2.0.9 is old now and there is a new one 2.2.1

Clone boxes are cheap and work perfectly fine mate. As far as recording goes it records fine but you would need a 2.5 inch pen drive.

I have 2 clone boxes (DM 800 & Open media 500CS) and have never been let down!

As far as EPG is concerned I don't think any of these boxes have a good EPG. Don't think you will get a box with great EPG either.
