    Does anyone have 1 of these dishes?

    been offered one for cheap and just wondered whether it would be worth getting one?

    any ideas?

    Hi mate. I know someone who does them for £120 with 12 months subscription. It's one of those things tho that the plug can be pulled at any given time once the powers that be (sky) get to grips with things. All I can say is that I get every channel and its pretty reliable. Needs connecting to internet via a wire tho.

    Bit like the cards you could get years ago - £50 for every channel, sometimes they worked for a few week, other times they lasted 18 months.

    All highly illegal obviously and I get the impression the way it's done with these sky boxes is something that Sky are working hard to shut down.

    The boxes themselves are still good for receiving freesat and DVR use - you'll not get anything with the same features as cheap.
