Hi Tim,
I have the previous version of this box which I bought new for £34.00.

I think it's a great bit of kit and certainly works really well in the uk. The only issue (if you can call it that) is that as there are so many channels it picks up and stores it took me a while to sort out the favourite ones and move them to a more sensible location in its memory.
The picture quality seems very good although I only have a small tv in the caravan.
I can't see why it wouldn't work in europe, it seems to know about a lot more satellites than Astra and Eurobird.
I have sky at home but didn't go that route because the there are no small footprint receivers. I didn't want to lug a big box around. Also I think the sky card doesn't give you much extra now either. I think it used to be channel 4, 5 and sky 3 (I think), but you can get 4 and 5 on this box so for me anyway it wasn't worth it.
I think the Fortec Star receiver is great for the money and would recommend it to anyone.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Steve
