Apart from the fact it's almost useless unless you speak German (as they're the only country that offer a wide selection of fta) or like looking for feeds - there are virtually no fta channels broadcasting in English on Astra/Hotbird. Pay a little bit extra and get one with a CI Slot or embedded Viaccess card reader and then there is a lot to watch - for example you can take a 6 month subscription to Digital Albania with all the latest movies in English, 3 hard core porn channel at night free from R18 shite - and all for ?90 - ask Sky to offer you that, they can't.

Well, you could use the box to watch England v Wales at 3pm as it's live on German channel ZDF - in the UK it's only available if you subscribe to the money grabbing Sky. A bit of a national disgrace considering poor/pensioners are deprived of the right to watch, another aspect of the shite country called the UK.
