Now that every provider are moving to Nagra 3, does any one have an idea of what should be the best card and the best programmer to be used?

No card will work (unless it's from a subbed box) so the only alternatives now are to card share or move to satellite.

Dont like credit cards. Prefer debit! lol. Unless of course its cashback lol. Your best bet would be to get a)
100-120cm dish
Satellite motor. Technomate and Motek are recommended brands
Technomate 500S or better

DO NOT BUY YOUR EQUIPMENT FROM MAPLINS.
If you cant get it installed, or if like me you are afraid of heights

, and the people who install it are numptys who wont listen to you, then you can pay someone between £100-£120 to fix it for you professionally

Once you've got FTA(Free to air) channels working, do some reading up on
"DD-WRT" and
"card sharing"

We can discuss DDWRT here, but not card sharing

Check out "lyngsat.com" to see what you can get abroad. Some content is free, some isnt, however you can buy cards for your receiver, as long as it has a card reader(card slot)/CI(common interface) slot
