tj Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Dont wish this to sound unkind, but I guess its only ignorance that people are still paying subscriptions to sky, or buying the other boxes, freesat etc.There is more TV for free than you could ever watch ! Just a dish and decoder thats it.To be fair, the one area which is lacking is free sport channels in english, but no big deal, BBC & ITV show the important stuff, and with Channel 4 now fta, the racegoers are happy Saturday afternoons.

Bilbo Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Has anyone tried out one of the new freesat boxes in France yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Not specifically France yet,but I've read that they've been used in other parts of Europe with no problems - there shouldn't be any problems anyway - the technology of receiving satellite signals is tried and tested. The only problems I've read about so far is mainly about uneducated shop staff being told that they must sell a dish installation along with the box, as I wrote about on another thread. Apparentely this has been brought to the attention of freesat and Trading standards in the UK.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearly Retired (I am now) Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 As long as Sky still keep their near monopoly on UK Premiership & League Football then my £38 per month sub is guaranteed. I'm still pondering about adding the extra £10 for Setanta as it's probably one step too far - I do miss the Monday night Premiership matches.

powerdesal Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 38 squid to watch football !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would probably pay that NOT to watch football. [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 NR, I bought a year's sub for Setanta for my OH as part of his Christmas present. IMO, well worth it. My son also gets a great deal of pleasure from it and every so often they both invite friend's who support a mixture of clubs over to watch a match and the craic is 90!

Bilbo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Some of us enjoy rugby, cricket, golf, tennis and never watch any football but still get value from their Sky sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
