andyh4 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hcan't answer for the Club internet but regarding your FTA box. It will pick up BBC1,2,3,4 ITV, ITV3 and 4. It will not pick up (currently at least) Channels 4 and 5. This is because they are encryped and although you need no subscription to watch them, you do need a de-encryption system - as supplied by SKY and a FTV card (20GBP - so kind of one off subscription). This may change as the UK goes progressively digital since some areas will only be able to receive these channels digitally via satellite. But who can tell when.

Danny Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 H.I use Club Internet as my internet service provider and have been very happy with their service. I only receive ADSL internet and VOIP telephone calls - no TV, so can't comment on that aspect. Internet speed and charges depend very much on the where the house is located. e.g. for me the cost for club internet is 34.90 euros per month. See the other recent threads in this forum for more details.Could you explain more what you find confusing ?Danny(edited a bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
