Hi there, I have a 2.4 meter dish with Humax HD receiver and get most of the FreeSat channels however I have been offered a receiver that when connected to dish and the internet will receive all the Sky Channels (Sports and Films). Is this legal and how does it work?

Richard Slater: I live near Alicante and think I'm in one of the worst areas possible. For some reason the satellite footprint 'bends' around this area so that we are in fact missed (don't think the footprint shown above is quite right).
Just down the road (2 kilometers) reception is much better and they can use 1.9 meter dishes However, I got around the problem with a 2 meter dish. During normal weather I have no difficulty in getting a good signal but if there are extreme atmospherics then I do get breaks in reception.
Nowadays I hear many people have started streaming the Free channels everyone to their own. Much prefer my system though.

Hi there, Am south of Alicante and have a 2.4 m dish. I lost a few channels before Christmas when I believe there were some frequency changes. However I have been offered a system which includes connection to the internet and I should receive all Sky Sport and films in HD! Have seen the system working and it seems too good to be true. How does it work? And, is it legal?
