I thought of going satellite, but when i looked into it my house was facing the wrong direction unless i put the dish right up beside the chimney stack and i didn't fancy a dish on a big pole out the back garden either, plus you would need to go c/s to get the channels on sat as well, so i decided not to bother. Yeah flashing the boxes was a hobby, but at the end of the day everyone has to move on and find other stuff to do.

I get all the discovery channels, history, documentary etc, so i don't miss the movies and sports channels much, they were rarely watched.

Hi Witchy,

Yes it has, sorry i was referring to people who never mentioned anything about what they were going to do after cable, i've just got myself a sat setup and im gonna have some fun getting it going. (plus i hate heights!) :-/

Thank you

Wind each other up in gen chat.

allready got rid of my dreambox 600 i didnt fancy messing with sat, sky fitted here with xl package keeps wife happy.

yes same ere m8 i ..took a VM XL tv package ..anything 2 keep her indoors happy

well n3 is hitting bracknell as my dad got his new card today so now when I stay I won't be able to use my dreambox. Now I'll have to socialize with them lol. got full sky hd at mine though so I won't miss much not that I watch much tv anyway lol.

Hit us yesterday so all channels gone on the old box, lovely run, checked around and well virgin still best for prices in some areas of there channel packages so got the L and Asian pack for 32 quid per month which with sky would be £50-60+ easily.

I can go the route of satelite>+ share and averge of 20 quid per month but for relibility and no net connection/bandwith required you cant put a price on stability for the family so went legit subsribed to Virgin.

As for missing the sky movies/channels (we watch zero sports) and movies/tv shows are full of repeats I can download the latest via torrent/nzb which is 10x better so all issues solved !

who's N3 and why's he hitting people?

the only challenge involved in the sat scene is trying to figure out why I bought a tm600 -I replaced it with a £15 firedtv-s from ebay and everything working with no WS bug, fully working EPG for further can I can be bothered to scroll and proper PVR facilities, much better picture and sound quality etc. etc. etc. - it did take about 3 hours to setup and configure but over 2 hours of that was getting the stream EPG fully working as sat has a seriously screwed up idea of what a useful EPG should be.

end of "challenge"

anyone wanna buy a nearly mint tm600? brillant bit of kit lol
