Have dish, what digi box to get?

Dingatron · 2004-11-28 13:16:45

Hi all I'm moving house next week and theres a sky digital dish attached to the new house. I'm not getting sky but I asume I can hook any old digital box up and I should get some of the free stations? If so what box should I get and where? Am I right in saying that the FTV cards will only work with Sky?

If you want to use a FTV card, then yes you'll need a Sky Digibox. If you're buying a new digibox I'd say just go for the new Pace 2600. If second hand, I'd suggest getting your hands on one of the Panasonic boxes.

If you just want a Free To Air box (no card slot) I believe the Palcom's are good and well priced.
