Looking into getting one, Just wondering if anyone has one, and how they find it.
Any particular model that is a good one to go for?

Any help would be great

I have had a look at the website for these and they look pretty cool - just wondering if you know what sort of channel coverage you would get in NZ with a Sky sat

cant say that there is anything there that I would want this for - wouldnt a PVR with sky digital be better for channel selection?

yes it would, but this is a one off charge for the reciever, then no monthly costs. Im mainly intrested in the auzzie channels. And one for the bach to get good reception for tv1 and 2
