How is the 3m in Hull, on Nilesat?

Horizontals and verticals 24/7? or a fair weather setup only.

Dont know the Technicals to be honest, its in a Pub but he didnt get the game today so could be fair weather jobby (snowing in Hull today - but makes the place look nice)

He usually has all the Showtime games on Nilesat, first one I've known him miss out on.

All of showtime would mean that he is getting the horizontals ( as well as the verticals, which are easier) apart from in poor weather. Still good going though.

Wish I could get them - I'd buy a showtime subscription without doubt, they show every game. I've got a Premiere Card coming from Germany - will it just go straight in the Dark Box or will I have to change anything ??

Not sure about that one. The card will be the new Nag3 and you may need to get a specific CAM to work with it, or it may be need pairing. Please let us know how you get on.

I'm sure theres something on the box that lets you put a box serial number in somewhere, cant remember where though. Never tried, so dont know yet - What Cam would I use otherwise ?? Its a Dark Box - really easy to use, and I swear by it. Probably because I'm used to it !!

I don't know, you could always try asking your darkbox supplier.

The other option I suppose is one of these:-
HUMAX PR-HD1000 SATELLITE RECEIVER - Marconi Digital Satellite Cards

but expensive if you have a receiver already.

Tried a sly card in it today and that works - is it same encryption ?? Its English as well !!
