At the moment, I have a 1.3m dish on Hotbird using a "pirate card". Now that the decent channels have moved to a different platform, I've been looking at purchasing a legal card with this one in particular interesting me.

As a big football fan, this one looks like a dream system to have. How legal is it to use satellite systems licensed to other countries? Should the system change to a different platform, would I be given a new card or will I be screwed?

Also on a similar subject, is it possible to use 2 cards on the one reciever (Humax5400z)?

Why dont you just get a dreambox

[Snad]

Whats a dreambox? How does it work and what does it cost?

[Hazza]

I was considering getting a dreambox, but there are strong rumours that some ISPs will be throttling some ports. Also considered getting NetVision (I think thats what its called) which works in the same way as the dreambox but the servers are based in China and there are NO monthly subscriptions.

sounds interesting iv never heard of this i asume its internet tv can you telll me more about it hazza cheers matey

Its a satellite dish and reciever. Using CAT5e, you connect the reciever to your ADSL router (you must have broadband internet) where you are downloading the latest frequencies and patches, unlocking Nova Greece, Nova Cyprus, ARTsports and a few more. That is both for the Dreambox and the NetVision. Difference is, the Dreambox is more reliable but you pay a monthly subscription for all the patches and updated frequencies. With Netvision, you don't pay any monthly fees and its cheaper to buy, BUT, you can experience freezing pictures from time to time.

Is this an alternative to Sky i.e. can you get UK TV, Premiership football, etc

[Hazza]

My personal opinion is to go with the legal channels. Less likely to get stung.

The very first post in this thread shows ALOT of live premiership games. Artsports is what they have in most pubs here to show the live games.

As for UK tv, I'm assuming you mean the terrestrial channels? You'll need a 4m dish for that which doesn't come cheap.
