The above recommendations are very expensive to install.I rang them and the quote I got was a bit too much for me !
I got my place done with 3 boxes - and I Sat Dish - I think for 350 and that includes installation. It was also an extra 50 euro I think for the Aerial, but I did not want it.
Here is the guys number - if you want to use it 0866668267 (Jimmy).
packages to choose.
For a complete Freesat system including standard installation the cost is €249.00 including VAT
To get this now just click on "add to basket" on this page Freesat system (Click here)
Freesat doesn't have the irish stations, RTE, TV3, TG4.
Freesat requires a set top box (STB) for every TV.
(Some newer TV's have Freesat built in)
You don't know the specifics of what you are comparing here, so you can't possibly know if one is more expensive than the other.
One has 3 TV points the other may only be one, I have no idea how many set top boxes either of you are talking about, if they have PVR/EPG or HD etc.
Basically make sure you are comparing like with like.
If you don't want to learn the specific, just get NTL or Sky.
Have you considered watching these shows on the RTE Player through your computer? If your TV can connect to the computer you could even watch it on the TV.... what concerns me is wherether a satellite has an inability to receive RTE/Tv3. .... I'd still like to stay in touch with the news, prime time, late late show etc from time to time....
In the near future the Irish Digital Terrestial Television system should be up and running

Other than that a decent set of rabbits ears would get you the terrestrial channels (RTE 1, NET 2, TV3, TG4), and then a dish for the satelite channels if you feel you need them.
According to [broken link removed] there isn't any DTT in Dublin as yet! I have a new TV that supports mpeg4 and was interested to read your post saying that DTT is available in Dublin. What would you consider to be a decent internal aerial? (and where would I get one?). Thank you.ddt is already up and running in some areas including Dublin. All you need is a newish TV that supports mpeg4 and a decent internal arial. This will give you the 4 irish channels in digital. Then get a sat dish for the other channels. A little bit of investment but then no more bills..
