[QUOTE="DCFC, post: 4458"] Thanks for your response 2old. You suggest I keep my Sky dish up rather than replace it, but am I right in thinking that the current dish is nothing "special" but is only that size as Sky digital only needs it to be that size ? so if I wish I could swap it for the 80cm dish & universal LNB like I mentioned ? As for receivers I was not really looking for an all singing all dancing one, just one capable of storing as many digital channels & analogue ones (if I get a combined receiver), without having too many other features what I wouldn't use. i.e. diseq etc. Perhaps I will start in putting up my IRTE & see how user friendly it still is. Sometimes may way of thinking is that the money has already been spent on stuff that it seems a waste not to use it, but buy something else which is perhaps more up to date. I will do some research now on receivers as well as more on the programmers / wafer cards. I was puzzled to start with when I couldn't find the forum titled "smartcards" but managed to find a thread amongst the "cards & programmers" that explained you renamed it :) I sense that the programming of cards will be a challenge, but hopefully one I look forward to. ;) Regards, DCFC.
