Dreambox? Technomate?

...would agree Techno mostly software flashin via laptop.. Dreambox is linux via broadband or software flashing via laptop if yer up for motor go DB software route plenty of support this end of the pond!

Also ye need to consider, CAM/Card options- Motor type and HD or not!

Well what do you class as regular??? channel names would be helpful, no there is no hack for sky it is totally secure. So that limits you, you could of course get the freesat service but you would be best to use a Sky Digi box for that.

Either a technomate or a Dreambox is probably your best option but with the DB you need to know a bit of Linux commands

Well I will not make recommendations with such vagueness and certainly not if you are not more specific as to what channels you want to watch. Why not telephone sky and ask them

There are plenty of Pakistani & Indian channels available on the Sky platform. Many of them are premium seervices and require a subscription on top of the Sky UK sub. The Asian channels tend to be expensive - typically an extra 10-15UKP a month for a couple of extra channels......

A few of the south Asian channels are available on other satellites available to the UK.

Sky is totally secure so either you subscribe or you do without.

Ok...geo, ARY from pakistan and B4U or Zee from India....I mentioned sky because that's all i know in UK sky is the only provider.....here we have Dishnet and it got all international and local at one satellite. For me UK experience is new and need advice from guys like you who knows better than me.

If you have a dish pointing to Hot Bird 13E (perhaps just add an LNB to your current dish), you can subscribe to Zee TV as a DTH (Direct To Home), instead of going through Sky.
