Default communal sky feed???

my building has recently been refubished and fitted with a communal feed, so no more mounting dishes/extra lnb's and what have you.

so if i were to ease over into the sat from cable side of things with say ev quauntum or humax reciever what would my expected line up be Ie..worth the outlay for any fringe benefits,?

area west central scotland (if it makes any difference)

any thoughts guys-n-gals?

Depends what you are interested in.

The full pack including sports & movies is about £47/month.

If you want the HD channels its an extra tenner and is a tenner for each addition sub for "multiroom"

I was thinking of the non sky chanels, but as the dish and lnb will be set for the sat that sky uses i was wondering what line up i could expect using a modified box.

Just the FTA channels, unless you subscibe to Sky, as all the encrypted channels are NDS, which is secure.

They are on different satellites which are in different positions in the sky. So, yes.
