You have really got a mixed bag there.
Lets try an point you in the right direction,
Ok, have you got a cable feed from VM ?
If yes then two boxes to choose from Kryptview A780 (standard definition box)or A850 (HD box)
There is also a Starview box that does cable,
you could go into that section and ask somebody if they are any good lollolROFL
Satellite is the other option you will need a sat dish instead of a cable feed.
budget(HD)boxes start around £60 generally Openbox or F3
better boxes about £150, Blade, DM800.
Don't really know about technomates but they have a fairly big section
so you should get all the info you need.
All boxes will need broadband feed to work.
Have a look in each section see what people say
about them.
Choose one and post in that section if you get stuck setting it up
Happy hunting 👍
