    If you are hoping to get pay tv channels, that ended years ago.

    What specifically are you looking for?

    You can't receive UK satellites in Australia.

    The best option for a variety of channels is an IPTV subscription

    Some say they will do IPTV, but there's probably a lot of better choices for IPTV decoders available.

    I suggest you ask in the IPTV section.... that's where the IPTV gurus hang out.

    Some Openbox receivers will do some IPTV, but IPTV can be notoriously unreliable due to internet bandwidth and links failing after a while.

    Use a search engine to find out which ones.

    Check Aliexpress for prices and other info.


    Subscription IPTV is more reliable than the so-called "free" variety. It depends on what you wish to view.

    As MTV has advised, check the IPTV section of the forum.
