If cost is an issue for you then why not consider getting a satellite setup for FTA broadcasts for a once off payment? I guess your DVR's built-in tuner will be no use then (?) though - same as with digital cable?Thoughts, anyone?

Clubman-a couple of weeks ago I saw an ad from DID Electrical for a box of tricks that appeared to me to offer FTA channels without a satellite dish.I have not had a chance to investigate it but unless I am totally wrong-and I could be-I got the impression from the ad that this box of tricks-sited indoors- could give u FTA channels.Maybe someone else has looked at it.www.satellite.ie has some useful FAQs on satellite FTA (e.g. what channels are available etc.)using SKY or non SKY equipment. I would certainly seriously consider opting for a FTA package if dishes were not disallowed by our management company rules.
Through what delivery mechanism if not satellite dish - e.g. terrestrial antenna, cable etc.? Are you sure that it was not simply a digital FTA decoder that still needed to be hooked up to a suitable dish?Clubman-a couple of weeks ago I saw an ad from DID Electrical for a box of tricks that appeared to me to offer FTA channels without a satellite dish.
Doesn't sound right to me. Well you can get terrestrial analog (and maybe trial digital) channels with a "rabbit ears" or equivalent antenna but you will not get BBC/ITV etc. channels this way.I have not had a chance to investigate it but unless I am totally wrong-and I could be-I got the impression from the ad that this box of tricks-sited indoors- could give u FTA channels.Maybe someone else has looked at it.
Clubman-yes I know when I saw the ad I thought of all those questions-but as I have not seen the device I have no answers.Through what delivery mechanism if not satellite dish - e.g. terrestrial antenna, cable etc.?

Any chance it's a firmware problem and there's an update that might address the problem?Which might be a good thing in my case since my new PACE box has a habit of going dead when I least expect it. Piece of rubbish. I know I should get it replaced by ntl but I don't know if I have the strength any more...
