best box for second tv?

bobk

Hi,
I have a second tv in my kitchen with a sky cable.

What would be the most cost effective way to get a decent range of stations.

Would prefer not to pay a monthly subscription.

So, is it possible to get a cheap secondhand skybox and stick a freesat card in it.
If so where is the best place to get the card?

Other than that, do the dreamboxes work well on satellite?

Are there any other other options?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

You don't need any card to receive the free channels.

A dreambox would be a waste of money if just plugged into a sky dish.

To keep it simple for the kitchen and also small i would go for Grundig GUFSAT01SD, Its a freesat receiver so you will never need to retune channels yourself, size of the receiver is a bit bigger then remote control so perfect for the kitchen and cost is about 50 pounds

The Grundig receiver is very small (bit smaller than an A4 sheet of paper), I'll grant you but its still bigger than the remote for my Onkyo a/v amp, and thats a big remote!!:D

oh you guys are such a comedians.

ok, i had to go and search for picture. When i said a bit bigger then remote i was trying to say its very small. Receiver is very small but don't hung me on technicalities.
