A FTA system with 12 movie channels and Setanta Sport News?

mike65

Got a flyer today for a FTA setup which promises the above, I wasn't aware of any FTA that included a dozen English language (as I have to assume they are) film channels unless the provider is cheekily including +1 channels. Setanta Sport News doesn't even exist anymore does it?

Mine for just €299 €199

jhegarty

i don't see you making 12 without the +1 as well.

No such system with 12 free movie channels and setenta sports news is indeed gone out of business, so I would imagine its some sort of illegal box myself...

How funny would it be if he were to get loads of calls with the same "argument" if the flyer "accidentally" got posted on lets say a Satellite forum :eek:

movies for men, true movies, film 4, blah blah blah

No I guess it a FTA box noting illegal about it I take it SS News was FTA now it's gone so the list is out of date.

Calling what you get on FTA movie channels is a push.:D

Wizard007

I think it would be no harm at all. It's miserable outside, it would amuse us for a while.

Sure, look at it as research

The box they were selling must have been a Sky Box with a UK FTV card.

staker

Are those "Zone" channels classed as movies??

Simply Movies is dead (as is Setanta Sport News) so I'm guessing, its a flyer thats simply hasn't been updated in some months.

steveon

Simply movies no longer exists.

I st name and a mobile number, a hotamil email, very professional. I'd advise anyone using this guy to ask to see his public liability insurance.

St Senan

AFAIK This guy is based down in Rosslare. The Add and name and number sounds familar to an Add a friend of mine who is also in this buisness saw.

Wizard007

Fair play to you Mike.

I rang him, didn't argue, just took the info he gave me.

He said it's a Freesat box. I asked ( acting dumb - no comments please ) was RTE available on the box and he said not at the moment, but it will be available on the Freesat box in 2012.

I asked about Satanta Sports News and he said, yes, it's available on the box along with 120 other channels.

Wizard007

It's just clicked with me who it is. The email and first name give it away. They used to be Sky Agents.

Think I can guess why they are no longer sky agents

St Senan

According to this guy The 4 irish channels will be on freesat in 2012.
Now that's just our luck we all would love to have the Irish channels free on satellite
But as we all know the world will end on December 21st 2012.
So really this guy can only give a 2 year warranty on what he is installing

staker

Used to be Sky agents,their offices closed last year.

jaggiebunnet

they can't even spell never mind get the info right on the channels available!

Hi
Im from kilkenny and got this box from this company about 2 months ago its the best money i ever spent and there are 12 movie channels on it cbs action which has great movies on it and there is the zone thriller too. Setanta sports news wasnt on the flier i got so maybe that one was out of date. But he did tell me that the rte channels are going digital around 2012-2014. I found their service very good and the job was done well and tidy no probs, my neighbour also got it in seems they are doing alot of business, so fair play to them.id recommend them again anyway.

What is the name of the receiver box you got installed

This Guy travelled all the way from Rosslare co Wexford to Kilkenny to install a free to air. I wonder will he call back if something goes wrong.?????????????

I see our banned Supreme satellite systems guy have an add in Echo newspapers in co Wexford advertising 100+ free channels. including 11 great movie channels.
Also he is Irelands Largest supplier. and he is the cheapest in Ireland GUARANTEED at €199

Yea its called the Digital switchover, starts in 2012 if im not mistaken:D:D

HA HA.
No the add is similar to the flyer he had going around. I was only told yesterday from a person enquiring about Free to air/ Freesat and the Irish Terristrial channels that this Guy is saying that the Irish Channels will be on Freesat in 2012.
It sounds like this guy is crash course Satellite dish installer Probably on the Sky bandwagon who dosen't know 1 end of an Aerial from the other

Tony

He should be very careful, if he trys to sell to someone who knows their stuff and they decide to report him he could be in a lot of hot water.

This issue is a problem for a lot of consumers, who exactly do you report them to and what actions can be taken against this company? Its a bit of a grey area this is it not, there is no regulatory body or really anything that can be done. Or maybe I'm missing something?

It is a grey area I agree. When he says things like RTE will be on Freesat and takes money on that basis is that not straight out fraud?

Fraud maybe but as I say who is going to do anything about this? I doubt the guards would heed anyone who reported this, thats my point.
I'm certainly not in favour of another regulatory body being set up as a lot of these bodies are crippling this country and some were just created for "jobs for the boys" but what else can be done?
The simple answer is nothing IMO, All he would have to do is shut up shop in his area, change the company name and mobile number and operate in some other part of the country and con some other poor unfortunates and the cycle would start again.
Great country this huh?

Yes its a fair point but I would not want to be in his position, he may well unknowingly try to sell to a guard who happend to be in a bad mood. Anyway thats another days discussion.

Cheapest in Ireland huh??? guaranteed!!??
Well I can guarantee him one thing, its most definately not the cheapest in Ireland, I've seen it advertised in different areas around the country for prices between €169 and €300. He is €30 dearer than the cheapest I've seen anyway.

St Senan

I know of some Installers Sky subcontractors who buy the Ross kit For €50 and sell and install it for €140 which is €60 cheaper than this crowd.
It seems this crowd have jumped on the digital switch over bandwagon. Telling people that the Irish channels will be free on satellite in 2011/2012 tell's me that they dont know the differance between a VHF and UHF aerial Probably a 2 day crash course sky dish installer. All the local long term Aerial riggers/Satellite tv installers in co Wexford know each other and none of us ever heard of this crowd up til recently. I have seen a lot of guys come and go in this buisness since Sky digital went big in 2000.
I also doubt that this crowd are using branded Freesat boxes installed For €199 more like a cheap budget free to air kit.
