You won't get ch0r-s channels as they are on Cable here in ireland only. Now if u want those channels on sat u will have to again subscribe to Sky as part of their flagship get those stations back on . Or as u have a cable connection in your house u might go for the Starview 6. the other lads on this thread will help u with this set up of this box.i dont know much on this box .Now there is other boxes comming out in Ireland soon
that are like freeview but with Mpeg4 install ,i Don't know as yet what channels will be on these Mpeg4 boxes,Now if u want to know more u can contact Zintek Systems on
014600484 / 014008351 in Dublin 12 area. they will know more .dm90

It is not a matter of getting it wrong or not getting it right, it is a matter of attitude when someone queries politely one of your posts, and then you go and edit the original post to make it look as if you never said certain things.

The problem with posting about things that you dont actually know about is that it causes confusion to new members especially. If you are unsure about something you should state that in your post too, as in say 'I may be wrong about this but I think.......' at least then people have are not taking it as gospel.

I was wrong ONCE too about something:-
I thought I was wrong about something and it turns out I wasn't !!! lol

Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??

you cant, its connected to a MMDS aerial, not a dish and its a box which upc provide to those in chorus land, no cable box works on Sat

Regarding mpeg4 boxs, the only thing on mpeg4 is DTT, which is 4 chans and a couple of radio chans, not worth spending a penny on at the min,
