    You can get a Droidbox or Raspberry Pi then install apps on it which give you loads of streams and Sky channels which is a similar setup.

    My box is still the very best. Just needs a wee tune up every wee while. There is a lad that does it all for us. One of payment of 150 quid.and ye get all the channels including the *:D

    Basically just need an ethernet cable from router to the box and a.cable from box to the dish. Mighty * job. Better than those sky.* robbing ye every month

    Had one for a couple of years now.The guy who i first got it from charged £120 a year....cheap but he was making a good profit on that.Done some searching and got it sorted myself.Box was £45. from ebay and subscription was £25. for the year.Some channels have gone but only the hd ones.All sd channels still work fine.How long for nobody knows. Getting set up is and a years sub is less than one month of a full package from sly.

    How much a month do you pay your card sharer? I pay $27.30 for 6 months. A year is $48 and I can suspend my service if I am not using it. It would be interesting to know the cheapest out there.

    I have the HD openbox and the VU duo. The only real advantage of the dearer box is the 7day EPG and the record one show while watching another. I find the cheaper box(open box) more stable and never gives any problems.
