    I'm looking at getting the €83 Magnet Entertainment package (Dooradoyle X).

    Any other local users?? What's the TV quality like?

    My management company doesn't allow Sky dishes :mad: ; so my only other option is Smart + Chorus (€63).....

    I could wait for Chorus cable BB... but that could take f.o.r.e.v.e.r...

    lol, interesting idea

    I'd say it still falls under my "television or other wireless signal receptor" ban

    That is illegal. There can be restrictions on aerial / dish size / placement, but forbiding reception is illegal.

    Sorry for going off topic, but:
    Management companies can do what they like in this country. They dictate their terms in the contract of sale... which is non-negotiable. For example, the "management fee" on new townhouses at Log na gCapall on the SCR is now three grand.

    As regards my place, I think the quid-pro-quo for the initial purchasers (c. 10 yrs ago) was that the place was fully pre-cabled for "multichannel" and phone.

    Nevertheless, since my yard is slightly below road level [how (un)attractive does that sound!!] I doubt I'd have LoS for Digiweb or even Sky.

    Not a single house has a Sky dish up.
