The set up you currently have is a satellite system. All boxes work on basically the same principles, but have different tuners installed. A starview has a "Cable" tuner, and a sky box has a "Satellite" tuner. If you want to use a starview box, you'll need to ditch sky, and get the basic package from your local cable company. Although, depending on your geographic location, might not be worth doing as most cable companys are craking down hard to combat these boxes. Look for threads about Nagra 3 for more info.
