Options are limited to:
card sharing via a cable box & VM feed (same as Sly before it stopped, full HD)
IPTV subscription (all content internet streamed...lots of room for improvement)
Motorized dish (your playing with the big boys)
multi-sat (more effort than its worth imo)
Go back to a official provider & pay through your teeth.
The most viable options for the majority of people are Cable box with VM BB...or... IPTV subscrition as other methods require specific setup knowledge & equiptment.

ye, TBF , if you're going motorised or multi-sat then if you DIY it you need to start of with a reasonable amount of ability, [ and some knowhow at least ] ,
and treat it almost as a hobby project, you wont get it right overnight.
if you are paying for it to be installed its not a cheap option.

That's all you need - open up your h2.s and have a look if the second satellite tuner is the pluggable type, if so, you can replace this with a cable tuner for £30.

Thank you very much for the help.... I'm a bit slow when it comes to this stuff..
What do you mean by the pluggable type ...

There's more than 1 variant of the H2.S - the older models have a fully soldered 2nd satellite tuner so can't be replaced whereas the later ones are pluggable (changeable).

depending on your box,
you may be able to change the sat tuner for a cable one,

Not sure what you mean? ... If you're asking why did zgemma change the design of the H2.S, I can only assume it's to do with costs.

It is possible on some models to manually change/switch out the 2nd tuner, this is allow you to buy the cable tuner only then open your receiver & change the 2nd sat tuner for a cable tuner...so as an example you could change a H2s model for sat only into a H2h model which has 1x sat tuner & 1 x cable tuner (cheaper to change a tuner than buy a new box)
