Default Technomate Box with a Sky Dish

Hi,

I'm new to all of this so dont really know what im doin yet! i want to get digitalb, as this has got the rights for the footy, but not too sure what to get and the setup needed.

i have a sky digital dish with a spare LNB, and was wondering if i could run a technomate box off that to pick up the signal for digitalb???

if i can, then would i need to get just the box and card and pretty much plug and play?

thanks

Digitallb is on one of the weaker satellites between 2 stronger satellites, for reliable reception you are going to need a 90cm dish (depending on where you are) - if you're going as far as getting a TM receiver and 90cm dish, then you may as well get the motor too and motorise it. AIUI, there is premiereship soccer available on channels that the TM receiver will open with a patch and without paying for a card.

You should get Digitallb with an 80cm dish, do you have a Digitalb card and a CAM? You know it doesn't clear with just the patch.
