A sky digibox & subscription would be the best bet for the UK pay channels :-rofl2

Several of those channels are fta though so any digital receiver will work for you.

You will need to spend more money on the receiver and on the viewing of channels, even if you are thinking of free viewing, which I doubt if can get them all with English audio.
You can consider a second hand receiver as people discover soon enough the limitations of what they bought and they upgrade to a receiver with more functions.

You don't need to spend any money to buy a receiver for Sky pay channels. If you subscribe to Sky and meet their terms and conditions you will get one for free.:)
