you will be able to watch free to air channels, like bbc world on thor, or bbc on 28 east, some music channels on 13 east

keys when available also open some encypted channels, but at the moment, not a lot is open

but, the dreambox/VU+/technomate 9100 series are normally good, when keys are available, so you have bought the correct unit

how ever, you will do well to load a new image (operating system) the nabilosat blackhole or DreamElite would be best for a biginner like your self

A friend of mine has DREAM DM500+ and he is watching the sports and movies channels on it. So possibly the images are out it is just the matter of getting them. May be need to ask him where he got his box from.

Thanks Anyway.
