Dreambox 500s are still available on ebay, be careful not to get a cloned box as the tuners will be weak and some official software will brick them.
I am not up to date on open packages but, I can't remember supersport being opened purely by keys. Premiere is often open and also TPS. D+ is now encrypted with Nagra 3 so wont be open via keys until that is cracked.
Premiere is a German Package on 19e astra1 (English Audio available as well as German)
TPS is a French Package on 13e hotbird (French audio)
Polsat is Polish and also on 13e hotbird (open when keys are available, Polish Audio)
Plenty of other smaller packages are open via keys (films, sport & porn). There are some Free to Air packages that show the Premiership too (mainly foreign commentary) but without a card then feeds are your best best. These are mostly sky broadcasts without commentary (the source theyuse for football first and then put the commentary on afterwards).
D+ on 19e and 30w (Spanish audio) are now pretty much dead
You would be best off with something like a Digitalb card (16e). The quality isn't the best but it is pretty good value.
C/S is not something to be discussed on an open forum really. There are plenty of setups where you don't share your card, but pay a monthly fee to some dodgy geezer who probably can't be trusted. It works best with a small group of friends, each have a different card which is shared between themselves.
