[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 586751, member: 240839"] I agree with you 100% on that one mate. If i could get a monthly sub with either Viasat, Digital+ or Canal+ (Scandinavia) I'd be over the moon. I much rather pay my money to these other companies than give it to Uncle Rupe. The other providers mentioned above also have a better quality of programming and also a better quality picture in a lot of cases. Can a Sky box control a motor? :-Nooo Can a Sky Box let you watch [B]all[/B] other FTA channels off other satellites. :-Nooo The answer is no on both accounts, this is why in my opinion i think they are poor receivers. Most of them also take an eternity to change channels. I dare say they wouldn't be bad if they hadn't been nobbled so much by Sky 'O'-red. Although saying that, I must admit that i do have a fondness for the Amstrad DX500. I know its w*nk box but it looks nice :-jumpsmile I used to have one but unfortunately it was for the wrong flavour of Sky. Your average Sky UK card doesn't have a tendency to work to well in a Sky Italia box :-DOH! :-beer Nano [/QUOTE]
