firstly , they are no longer made so second hand is the only option for the 7000 or 9000 or 9900 , the only new one is a 6000HD from goldwafers

if its second hand and hasnt been patched it needs the latest patch installing from our firmware section (using a usb stick - full details are in the tutorials section)

yes you need a satellite dish with lnb, and for sly that dish has to point at the satellites at 28e, which is what a sly contractor would do if he fitted one. he would also cable it to your room where the box would reside too, so that the box can be connected up to the lnb on the sly dish

channels like you want are scrambled so need methods of unscrambling which we do not discuss on this forum (and is also banned on most forums)

in theory , you need a sly card from a valid sly subscription to watch those channels, which you can just as easily do with a subscription to sly, using one of their dedicated boxes and a sly dish pointed at 28e. if you are in the uk you either need a zone 1 39cm dish fitted in england and wales , or the larger 59cm zone 2 dish if in ireland or scotland

if you are NOT in the uk, bigger dishes are required, subject to your location
