it's a satellite receiver (but not for sky)

Poppycat

Not much good for most peeps then, doesn't do Sky, doesn't do Freeview, doesn't do terrestrial.

Humax as also good pvr and also have good tuners in but for freeview

vithya

heard it works with sky.. you need to have a plugin or so install to get it work..

It's a linux based satellite reciever not unlike Dreambox, bit of a late runner in the field and very much an enthusiasts box, you can flash it with diff' images to enable some ppv channels to be seen, mostly europeon english ones + cheeky channels, but don't all jump up with joy, these codes often need updating daily, you can view sky with the right flash, but I would imagine it won't update you card when need be (still need you sky digibox for that), you need to be interested in it big time... networking and other pc knowlege needed + they're 99 quid at a lot of places;)
