Hi i currently have virgin media and am unwilling to pay extra money for sky sports as i have heard about you can get these boxes and recieve channels for free, i was just wondering if i could get some advice before i go out & buy, which box is the best to buy i have seen starview 4, encrypter, eurovox, dreambox, also which version should i buy? also do they have recorders so i can record programs while im out? is it easy to install? how do i update the box? and what do i do when it need re-coding? please help me out guys, much appreatiated.
