    Sorry to ask but I'm used to the Cable scene rather than Sat.
    Blade or Spiderbox so what's the difference? which one is better?

    I've got Sly (£65 sub a month), I can't have motorised dish.
    Can I use the above boxes with my current Sly dish?
    Also does anyone know if the "gift" that comes with the box is Sly or another sub from the Europe?

    I have a Blade 7000s HD box, works fine with current sly dish, picture quality is fantastic, especially hd channels. Cant say anymore than that cos i been using cable and im new to sat/blade myself, but i would defo recomend the blade hd box.

    A "Gift" is a sub, from the looks of it you got a Sly sub from your local dealer.
    There are dealers that are including "Gift" with the box for 12 months but I don't know to which Satellite company as these boxes can pick up other satellites using a motorised dish.
