NOW at this moment the only tuner which is guaranteed to recieve this pack is the pace DVB500 , which still has some small bugs ,I crashes sometimes,often, there are two different regions the belgium one and the dutch region . For the first you can get the tv station VT4 for free (the rest is pay tv) and the second you'll get RTL4 ,SBS6 and veronica for free The called stations are soft encrypted ,which means you need the proper decoder/tuner , but you don't have to pay a fee
At this moment the tuner has a software download( Digital tuners recieve monthly or weekly new software which says what and what not can be recepted for free or what can only be recieved when pay or what can not be seen at all) that it can recieve all free Astra & Eutelsat channels( don't look up high at this because it are a very few channels)
+ it automatically installs new software(fortunately or unfortunately)
+ it goes automatically to the index frequency
+ it recieves a digital tv guide and which program is on at this time on other channels
- it can crash
- it costs a whole lot
- poor picture quality compared to analogue( but that's not the tuner's fault ,but the fault of the MPEG2 system)
- you are not sure if you can recieve some free channels due to the software downloads
