    No problem just I know how people dismiss ideas as they are too expensive too quickly when you can always find them cheaper somewhere.

    to be honest, the combo will be come redundant from the cable side as it wont clear n3, the sat side will work and can be connected to a share, but the cable side of it wont work for much longer in UK and wont work at all in Ireland

    Aye, I would reckon they will monitor the outcome in Ireland and proceed from there

    Hi all, i have read through this tread and its a bit hard to make sense of, i just have some questions and if you could answer them it would be greatly appreciated

    What do i need for Waterford:

    Starview 6 - will this give me all channels once connected to internet?
    Also i seen something about a subsription to a website.

    Firstly does that mean i need to buy irish boxes in ireland to avail of the free year?

    Secondly Can i then pay for a 2nd year or just throw the box out and start again?

    Thanks in advancew for all your answers

    Also i seen something about a subsription to a website - The box is working on cable only, the price of the box covers your years use

    Firstly does that mean i need to buy irish boxes in ireland to avail of the free year? - No, the box is only set up for Ireland as above, not MMDS and not working fully on corus either, they are the only ones available at present, make sure you use a reputable dealer when buying

    Secondly Can i then pay for a 2nd year or just throw the box out and start again? - Nope, goes in the bin, 1 box per year
