I'm after a Technomate 5000 series. Do they all come with USB cause my plan is to aim at 1W and get as much footie as possible without going down the card sharing avenue.

Protek Unix 500 Receiver

thats a big price jump - will the technomate not handle n3 then at all? and will the protek handle it?

I imagine that the TM5000 series would handle N3, but without the CAM and the keys etc, you can't watch it. Nothing, apart from using an official viewing card from the apropriate provider will enable N3 channels to be viewed.

I read the VM post on here and see a lot of people being switched off and not much hope for a solution. my main aim was to watch some 3pm kick offs. dont laugh at my ignorance but is it possible to watch matches that use conax, viaccess, videoguard? I know a dish repoint would be necessary but whatever might work would be worth it.

you cant just get a box and dish and receive thease for free you have to pay m8
but the protek will open some of the packages mentioned free with the price of the box aslong as the server does not get closed down
