I would say you'd be better with a simple patchable receiver like the technomate or Manhattans. There are images around for the sat d-box2 and they have softcams, but I don't know how up to date the softcams are. I would imagine the d-box would be more expensive than the TM or ST.

I should have a ST200 to sell in a week or so, if you're interested.

hi,
with any sat receiver, a mortorised dish will always give you
the best choice of channels,and the most out of the patch, you can use it with a fixed dish if you wish to.
