    For £100-150 youve got no chance!

    That estimate seems a bit low for what you want. A motorised dish will cost around £100 once you factor in the cost of motor, dish and brackets. That leaves you with £50 for the box. Up your budget a bit I'd say.

    You will really need to look into card sharing as not much is open at the moment on patched box, if you just want sports the DigiTV on 1w is open at the moment but for how long no one knows.

    You can't just say you get setanta codes then go all quiet. If you get them, share the knowledge.
