    I'm enjoying it now
    I presume if you receive an ad in the post your eligible for the service
    heres the tv site

    its good but you have to be selective in what you watch (sometimes its too much and sometimes theres a lot of rubbish)
    if you want to have access to some of the stations on your computer this is handy

    good luck

    do you need a dish though for sky, dont watch a load of TV though at the mo, just want to have something watchable, kinda sick of 2 to 4 stations depending on which way the wind is blowing

    In that case you better of a dish and a freeview box. I have one and you get all the bbc's and channel 4,5 e4 more 4 and much much more. I can give you the number of a guy that does them. you pay 1 time around the 150 euro mark and after that nothing, that's including the dish and box and instalation. I got this and I'm very happy with it. Like you I dont have to much time to watch telly.

    live in a rented house, none of us really want a dish, the chorus package we're looking at is the most basic, either the analog or the digital if available, both are less than a tenner each

    I have the freeview box and I think its the way forward,I too don't watch too much television but when I do I think the channels I get from the freeview are plenty,if I had sky I would be paying for channels that I would rarely watch!

    but with a freeview box, dont you need a clear signal from a tranmitter in the north

    getting back to chorus, not sure all ready, rang them this morning, they cant confirm if i can get digital, will get back to me in next couple of days, asked them about the name on the account as well, considering that i rent, found out you cant change the name on the account, if i was to move, if some one else in the house wanted to put their name on it, i would have to cancel, pay a cancel fee, and they would have to sign up again

    :eek:

    I think he means a Freesat box. Reception is via satellite. Can be bought up north and gives most of the UK stations, 4 BBC's, 4 ITV's CH4,e4 M4, Film 4, five, etc.

    freeview is a digital terrestrial service and does require a clear transmitter from up north.
