    If you have sly installed then you can get a dreambox, do you have a sly connection in your apartment, if so you will be able to just connect to it.

    They have setup Sly in our apartment Block but not sure if it is connected to each apartment, we may have to get BAsic Sly so they can install the connection.
    I will try Sly to see if we are connected or not
    Thanks

    I rung the Property company and apparently they installed a Sly dish in the apartment block ! So i just have to switch over to Sly and get them to connect us to Sly and then use the Box

    Maybe I am wrong, but if your apartment has a comunnal dish supplying each apt and there is a cable going to your Apt, why would you need to subscribe to Sky? you will FTA chans come down that cable anyways with out subscribing to sky themselves as the dish will pick this up, so if you connect a Dream or a box to the cable you will get those chans and then you can then connect the box to a router and get a cline from some one to unscramble the chans..... can stand corrected on this, you dont need to subscribe to Sky to get FTA chans, just to get encrypted chans, which a dream with a cline loaded will get you,

    Apparently from property Mngt they have to bring the Cable into the Apartment etc and they will only do this if we are setting up on Sky, 3 month trial me thinks.
    Thanks for Help

    Can one of you lads PM somewhere to buy the DB 500S with software already installed as my mate is expensive for software loading

    forzahoop, MICKAH is exactly right in what he said, with regards to your management company I think they are telling you porkies, get yourself some cable and connect yourself up, it is easy, also putting an image onto a dreambox is a piece of cake, order one and when you have the box come back on here and you will be helped out, if your in Ireland check out Gumtree they have loads on there.

    Literally there is no Cable coming into the Apartment except the NTL point, there is a Box beside the balcony which is supposed to be SKY.
    I will get the Box from someone on Gumtree or online, then see what i can do from there
    Thanks

    or this is a big or, get a mobile dish from lidl, put it on yer balacony, sorted, then connect to yer box, but I cant see them running a cable to the apt every time someone wants Sky and then doesnt want sky, dont sound right, me thinks the cable is there already and its a matter of just connecting

    Basically we have a Communial dish, a cable that runs to a Box outside the apartment but Sly said we require an Installer to run cable into apartment. Then they send out a card etc which i don't want.
    So i have to get Sly installed by an installer before getting Sly send out card and i presume Box

    no, as if the box is there you run the cable from there and then connect to a dreambox or similar, each apt must have a feed to it which is the box your talking about, so just run coax from the box and then connect the sat box to it, simple as, if you dont want to do that, get yerself a sat kit from lidl and set it up on yer balcony and then connect it to the box of yer choice, phuck that paying for some running a cable from outside yer door to inside yer door

    Where is this box located to anyways? Is in on yer balcony? for me, get a dish out of lidl and happy days, done

    yeah do if its not reachable, have a look at the other suggestion I made about the portable kit, dish cables the lot for about 65 euros and you can take it with ya when you move! that will do the trick, save paying them to hook ya up
