satellite TV for watching football

[carramagic]

Would anyone recommend the eurovox or starview systems?
Do any of these types of systems available in Ireland pick up all the saturday 3pm games that some of the sytems in the pubs do?

Just out of interest mate, how much would something like that set you back?

[StevieGisMyIdol]

Yes i do have a dish and i bought the whole deal(box,dish,cable,and the card) and in total it was 600euro!lol i know its alot but its an investment becos we will only have to renew the card next year for 125euro + u get a free 10day trial of all adult and movies!happy days!

I would recommend it 100%,you cant pick up the 3pm games the pubs show but you get all the sky sports channels and all the setanta channels.

all you get on Starview or Eurovox are the Channels that are available through NTL,you don't get any Foreign Channels.
i have a Eurovox and would highly recommend it

Hi lads

Out of interest, are these boxes that work on NTL going to still work with the new digital service NTL are rolling out, or only the old analogue system ?

Thanks

[redeagle]

most likley only analogue you would need different decoders with digital and it would be harder.

you could always buy a sat..a dream box..and connect it via the net and hack the channels. Only thing is sky is the hardest to hack.

loads of my mates do that.

I know a friend ;) who has NTL digital and got the box at the start of the season. Best purchase he has ever made, it reprogrammes itsself if they change codes and stuff. You need to have the basic NTL digital package. You get all the movies, sports, LFCtv and even some adult type channels. I think he said he paid 300 quid for it

[carramagic]

Is it not the basic NTL cable package you have to have? I've heard it works with that anyway. Surely they are going to do something about it though .... although NTL may be thinking that it's gonna hurt SKY more and not bother doing anything

i have the starview box for about 8 months now and still working fine. http://www.afterdawn.com/ is a good site if your looking for any info on it

[StevieGisMyIdol]

I got mine from Satworld in kimmage...
The chap der is good in d way of discounts etc and has a big selection of dishes,cards etc but only problem was dat it was a bit iffy about how long and how many phone calls it took for him to activate the digitalb card which ment i missed a fair few matches...
