My System: 'Fortec Star Passion' (& a dead SL65) One of them big Woks on the outside, and a thingy that moves it about a bit. |
NTL!  Now I've got the Fortec Star Passion, and soon the Diablo / Cas3+, will I be able to boot NTL. What will I miss? Will I still get 4 and 5? Men & Motors? Reality TV? Etc. What should I do? Give them the chop? | ||

Blog Entries: 5 My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser. | You should be able to get the terrestrial channels through a normal aerial, if you are in a digital reception area, then it gives you 30 channels, plus whatever you can get from your satellite dish. Men and Motors is a UK channel, so you won't get that elsewehere. | ||

My System: 'Fortec Star Passion' (& a dead SL65) One of them big Woks on the outside, and a thingy that moves it about a bit. | Cheers Rolfw Does that mean I have to keep that old aerial? Won't 4&5 ever be transmitted via satellite? The 30 channels you refer to? Freeview? Also when I buy a HDTV, it will have freeview, but I will need an aerial for this, Yes? Are there freeview channels worth having that are not (or not likely to be) on Satallite? | ||

Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser. | Yes, always a good idea to keep the aerial, particularly if you have a /tv with a Freeview tuner. Channel 4 will probably be FTA by Summer, but no plans as far as I know for Channel 5.  | ||

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos there's no room for dishes here... :( The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Erm, NTL was renamed to VirginMedia last year...  If you want C4 & 5 just get a 2nd hand sky box and a freesat card, you'll need a seperate dish for it as sky boxes are a pain when not kept on 28e, but it'll give you those channels plus a few others if your freeview signal's a tad rubbish. Otherwise, as Rolfw says, just get a Freeview box, you get a nice selection of channels these days, including Dave, so compared to Freesatfromsky it's a better option... | ||
