its just 2 recievers in one box, and it will have 2 seperate input connections at the back of it, one for viewing cable tv(you connect your virgin/chorus/ntl cable to this)and the other connection for satellite(you connect the cable from your dish to this)it will only have one output to your tv,you then just use the remote to switch between the dish and cable. i dont know what channels your hoping to get from this box but you will get all the free channels on the sky satellite(if your dish is pointed at the sky satellite) as for the cable side(there may only be a few free to air channels)if your in ireland the cable side of it will be of little use due to the introduction of nagravision 3 cards by cable providers,and if your in the uk sorry to say nagravision 3 is all ready being used or may be in use soon.
