[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 678281, member: 196043"] Yeah, it was a good system but for me it was too boring, 5 UK channels and that's it. For me the excitement back then was the ability to pick up a couple of German channels and one Dutch channel, see some scrambled channels like FilmNet and trying to get a steadier picture using teletext to generate sync pulses, picking up "exotic" radio stations and things like Radio Luxembourg in crystal clear stereo. To me BSB back then is what Sky Digital is today, something you get to just watch British TV on. Which is fair enough as that is what it is supposed to be for, but it didn't have the same element of fun and excitement for a freak like me... ;) (Of course after the merge you could get cheap BSB systems for next to nothing, THEN it became fun so I saved my pocket money, got and it set it up just so I could pick up Sky One and Sky News for a few months...)
