is there any news on channels coming back on the box(any of them) and the kryptview in dublin on N*L??
freesat box and dish around e110 in dublin get around 80 odd channels,you will need someone to put up your dish and align it. if you have an old sky dish with a spare output you can use that. there are also hd boxes out for the hd channels,do a google for more info.
cacti, if you have an old sly dish, and you buy a HD box do you also need to change the cables from the dish to the box in order to recieve the HD channels?
as long as the cables are good and connections good you should be alright,if they are old i would replace them and connectors also as you want the best picture possible with a hdmi lead. you will need to google freesat to see what hd are there,as you will not get sly channels.
