As you are obviously a newby to the hobby you dont want a Dreambox or any other Linux box. Get a nice Technomate or summat similar to begin with.

Almost all the channels are secure scrambled these days so you need to think about a subscription.

That depends on EXACTLY what you want to watch, but be warned some of the foreign subs make Sky UK look cheap by comparison!

Cant help much with the football - Im not in the slightest bit interested in watching the over paid prima donnas you get prem league football.

To be honest you probably want to wait a few weeks until we get nearer the start of the season. Once we get there we will know which providers will be carrying next seasons footy.
