With Sky, you only get the free channels and the channels you pay for, nothing extra.

If that is what you want then the Sky pay once watch forever is £75. Or the 6 mix is about £21/month, with free box etc.

However if you want the real satellite TV, you get a setup that enables you to get a massive variety of channels from all over Europe.

Then I reckon your best bet is a digitalb set up. This is on 16E and needs about a 1 meter dish I think. Don't know what they cost at the moment as I don't have one but if you look around the site I am sure you will get a better idea.

A 1m dish would cost approx £30 to £40. I paid £36 for my Triax110cm.

The DigiAlb sports package is approx £140 for a year, with movies and other channels too it is about £250.

A satellite receiver that would read the card would cost approx £75.
