I'd be grateful if posters could advise on which Digital TV service might best suit my circumstances. For years, I've had the basic NTL package via the traditional coaxil cable. I'm happy enough with the range of channels but not with the reception. It's patchy, and BBC2 is just unwatchable (and not beacuse of its content!). I don't necessarily want HD quality but certainly something clear.
While I don't watch a great deal of TV, I find I might watch it in on any of four locations within the house. There are eight TV points installed (although I've disconnected four of them to improve reception on the others). The Tvs are all fairly recent models - LCD HD ready.
So I don't want a great range of stations beyond what I have but I'd like to have a multiroom option that doesn't cost me the earth. I'd also prefer not to have dish hanging out of the house if that's a possibility but neither would I rule it out completely.
Since my last post, one of my colleagues has mentioned Freesat. He says that while I could install this independently, it wouldn't incorporate RTE, TV3 etc. He has suggested I take out a digital subsciption for the minimum term after which I could revert to whatver free channels are available.
