dboxes are easy , the sat stuffs a bit more complicated , u need the right kind of receiver which somtimes also needs card readers added to it and then the cards that go with them , some boxes can be modded to run emulators , others need a card programmer attached to a pc to update the codes sometimes monthly , sometimes daily , but then u also need to know where to find the codes in the 1st place
Reminds me of the days when I had a cb radio and used to pick up the police and aeroplane conversations. I'd sit all night eavesdropping on people.
