Sky tv Approx £900 per year, Fella can set me up for £130

[MrFibbles]

£900 for sky ya been robbed mate.

I rang to cancel told them i was just going to freesat a few days later they rang back offering me the whole set up excluding ESPN for £40 a month and even offered to buy my BT contract out if i took Sky Broadband (6 months free)

 

[Gingga]

I can get it for £140 (Skybox F5), which includes the year subscription then £70 a year after. That includes all Sky channels such as sports, movies and 3D. The majority of channels require an Ethernet connection rather than satellite.

If you can only get a holiday to Skeggy for £900 you are buying your holidays from the wrong place.

Still wrong, you cant get any channels without the dish.

I would say they were fishing mate. Or just being rude.

A skybox will probably annoy you very quickly, they do the job, but interface is a bit crap. I've got an Amiko Alien 2 with 2 Satellite HD tuners, and a terrestrial tuner, the software has full 7 day epg, quite sky like, and is very customisable. Picture is superb.

How much did that set you back?

 

[johnna]

open box s11 for me, had it ages & works the same as the sky box, cracking picture, no problems at all, all the sky , all the hd channels, buy a good memory stick & you can record all the sky channels also , get it mate you wont look back just out of interest what area are you ?

 

[davemackem]

£170, you can get it without the terrestrial tuner for £150. there are cheaper boxes out there but the os on this is quite flexible. www.satstation.co.uk has a lot of craic on the boxes, but talk of cardsharing is banned on there. they're a piece of piss to set up though if you've got a little technical savvy

So how do you go about getting the subscription channels on it?

so how does all this work then?

would love to fuck sky off.

does it cost you out per month?

you have to pay a server. the one I use is £35 for six months, there are cheaper out there but some are choppy at times. if you google card sharing and c lines you should be able to get an idea of what's involved.

does it cost you out per month?

if someone is going to set you up with a skybox (same as open box) for £130 for the year, I'd go for that. if you wanna upgrade to a better box later, you'll get £40+ for your box off ebay easy enough and can transfer your line to the new box

So how do you go about getting the subscription channels on it?

you put access codes to a server (c line) in the box, then when the subscription channel looks to unencrypt a channel, it does it over the ethernet connection to the server. best easy explanation I can give
