    They are different things entirely. A Sky box is designed to work with a Sky subscription and then works very weel. The other box will not pick up pay channels without breaking rules which we cannot discuss. What do you want to use this for?

    Not that kind of Skybox ...

    Would be the kind that has similar use to Dreambox.

    The best box from the 2 you have mentioned is the Dreambox by a mile.

    It's only got one tuner, the Sky HD has 2 and will allow watching one channel while recording another.

    I am sure that they would work very well with a valid subscription card.

    That's against their terms and conditions and therefore is disallowed from being discussed here

    Really? For all valid subscriptions or just some?

    It's got nothing to do with subscriptions, (you can get a Sky free to view card for free channels in the UK), it's against Sky's terms and conditions to use their card in a non-Sky Box

    The point I made was that the box isn't only used for illegal means. A valid Cyfra subscription will work perfectly and breaks no terms
