[QUOTE="DishDick, post: 795620, member: 216974"] Well say what you like, but when those new birds are up, and there are winners and losers, the losers will either have to forego their TV, buy ever larger dishes (assuming no frequency re use), move home, or go IPTV (or Slingbox). Now here we are in the back of beyond. We have Telefonica possibly the worst internet/phone company in Europe, lucky to get 1 to 1.5mbps. There are IPTV providers here showing most of the good Freesat channels and Scandinavian channels (both large expat populations here), picture is good, the EPG is excellent and you can see programmes up to 7 days after broadcast. Now I would like to keep my big dish and use it, but we all have to be realistic. And Andrew wishing "....the best solution is for copyright holders to all9ow broadcast everywhere without uping the charges", well you might as well wish for Sky to give you all their channels free! So what I am saying is, I have seen IPTV working well on bad internet connections, in a remote tiny island. I am not promoting a company ( I don´t personally like subscribing to any company), but there are options out there. So for those of you who have 1N enjoy it. If you are on the fringe be prepared to have to use a new method to get your TV in the future. But all this wasted time worrying about whether you will or won´t get it will make no difference. When the birds are up there, you will know! [/QUOTE]
