Default bit of advice please

now that 1w has given up the ghost its time for a new sat now looking around im only after the free stuff and 13e has come out top for around 1399 free channels according to king of sat. now is there any cheap packages i could buy and use the card in my technomate 6900hd box?

also will a sky white card work in my box?? im thinking of ditching the sky box in the room and having just one with a diseq switch for my 13e dish and 28.2e dish coming in. ive heard that the card wont stay alive but im sure there is a way to do that btw i am paying a legit subby as sky cant be hacked i just dont see the point in 2 boxes when its easier just having one. now i have tried my sky card in the box but it only brings the 6 mix channels out now the premium sky movies and sports.

Hi,
The white card won't work in the TM6900. It will only work in Linux boxes at the moment.

I don't know too much about packages, as I just watch FTA.

I don't think any of them are that cheap though, I had DigitalB for the movies for a while, but its jumped up in price since then, and a 1m dish is needed. Plenty of cheap porn packages I believe though.

A motorised dish is a better option I think, you would then get a wider choice of FTA.
