    hi guys I have a few starviews in the house and I have N*L basic digital coming into the house.

    My question is, can I switch to pipe N*L which is much cheaper or do I still need to keep my subscription to basic digital which is around €70 every 2 months

    Just tell them you want the basic package, ordinary 16 channels not digital.

    There is only €30 per annum difference between the basic digital pack and the analogue pack. Not worth the hassel to change as you would have over 70 channel on digital select against 18 channels on analogue plus better picture. Current cost for digital select is €26 per month as against €23.50 for analogue.

    what he means is if you just pay for the basic package the cc do not give you a digi box ok now if you take the basic digital package they will give you a digi box ok so now if you just take out the very basic which is about 24euro and buy a digi box you will get all and it will be in digital it is the box from the cc that make the cable digital not that the cable is been upgraded hope you can understand that

    We seem to be at cross purposes here. Firstly I am fully aware of the difference between analogue and digital. I was merely suggesting to johnburke to keep the digital because he would only save €30 over the full year. He would have 70 channels or so with this. He would still have these channels if his starview boxes went down which no one can say that they will not do so. I am sure the providers will come up with something in the future and then it will take some time for "fixes" to be generated and while this is happening he would have the basic digital package on which to fall back.

    yes we do i seem to have got my wires crossed and yes you are right they might find a way to get them just like they did the last time which was short lived for them i would say to that worry about it when it happens in the meantime get what you can for as long as you can for as cheap as you can

    Swapping codes to get services you haven't paid for is banned here for a reason. It's illegal. In my view it is dishonest. What a Guy LOL!!!
