the card and box are matched so to get the pacage you need both from home. only no on demand services no phone line.

if you have sky plus you gan watch all recored programs but to keep recording you will need a duel LNB and 2 cable.

Correct

when we go away we leave my son and daughter behind so at the mo leave the sky for them....looking into sky multiroom this way I can have sky down stairs and up while watching different channels and also when we go away one box can come with us....a few real neat ideas in this thread...thanks for sharing

Recently set up a freesat system in our van for around £77 ish , works a treat and very easy to set up.


dish and tripod



receiver

 

After totalling it all up i think i will go ahead & order this as a few of you have given me links to the same thing & £45 is not bad is it!

This site is very good.

Thanks to all of you to take the time & give me your advice & tips on which satellite kit to buy. Last night we ordered the one from Ebay on Netgear & it will arrive sometime tomorrow  Cant wait to use it on Friday as we are off again for a long weekend but something tells me that its not going to be easy to set it up...............

Oops...i said Netgear (not sure where that came from ) but i meant to say Netgadgets!!!

So am i right in thinking that i now have all i need to be able to watch sky? We are taking the sky plus box & card from the lounge (we have the full package so we should get all channels) then i have ordered this...

anything else.....obviously i need to take the scart leads from the tv in the lounge too? Tv in caravan will connect to the sky box via just a scart lead? Obviously the power supply too & then i imagine a lead running from the dish into the van?

If i sound thick then i probably am but just want to get it up & running as soon as i can when we arrive as the soaps start at 7pm & we wont arrive there until 6pm!!

We just take our box and viewing card, how do Sky know where you are using it?
