Don't have all the details but one of them told me that he uses multiple decoders to receive and then retransmits. Like has one dish which he splits to connect many decoders then each decoder receives one channel e.g Africa Magic, another one Africa Magic PLUS and another one Supersport 1 etc. Then he uses a device which combines all of them and retransmits them through a cable. If you look at the estates which have these services you will see many cables hoping from one building to another and of course when the signals become weak they use repeaters to boost it.

I once saw this at some hotel. I'm sure it must have been an illegal one... The guy had this strange decoder, with a strange unfamiliar menu. But it was running DSTV. The decoder was called Astrovox/ Astrobox or something of the sort. How does that work? I mean, if he was paying the full amount for DSTV, he would get a proper decoder, right? Must have been some Asian thing!

                   Maybe he talked to guys in Asia b4 they were

                   I'll need to know. But
                   i'm sure he's not into anything deep. N i won't b
