    ya mate you need a 500s but you can change the tuner in your box from cable to satellite tuner if your handy with soldering and stuff haven a clue how its done though yal have to search around or buy a new box

    i never done it but the reason i no is because i had a 500c
    and needed to change it for a 500 t and the only way to do it is physically change it
    but i sold the box luckily and bought another terrestrial reciever instead
    but it will be hard sell your box with n3 around the place so its just one root ya could go down and swap them

    Not worth the hassle of trying to change tuner, sell the 500c to someone in the uk( they may get a bit longer on cable) and buy a 500s!
