    if you go to buyandsell.ie go to the tv section there loads of guys selling boxes +cards you get bbc 1 2 3 4 , itv 1 2 3 4 sky 3 a few film channels but not sky movies you get sky news , cnn ,euronews, bbc 24hr news , all the selling channels and lots more , im not sure about uktv but you dont get sky1 or history channels there are a few childrens channels ,all the radio stations are there bbc1 2 3 4 5 6 7 + world service rte 1, 2, radio na gaelge ,lyric, +newstalk ithink there about 120 radio stations. the website digitalspy has a very informative satellite section best of luck let me know how you get on with the above. i have 2 of them feeding from 1 dish with a double lnb , if there any thing you dont understand get back to me.

    an lnb is the round piece at the end of the arm on a sat dish,they can have 2 or 4 right up to 16 connections ,if you had a double lnb you could have 2 independent digiboxes running at the same time provided you have 2 cards, we have it here 1 with sky sub and 1 with fta.when sky install sky+ they put on a quad 1 feed to the hard disc and 1 to the tuner, that leaves 2 spare in case another subscription is required in that house, they allow 2 subs per house.a quad sells for about 30 euro in buy and sell , they have a website, our dish is on my garage roof so i changed it my self but if its on the roof its a different matter
