I've only ever had one Thomson box and i can't say i was overly impressed with it

Why would reception in Ireland be a problem for you. I managed to get Sky while in France last year using a Zone 2 Sky dish

You might aswell just get Sky to do a new install and pay them the £30

You could also look at the Prepay packages. Last time i saw them they were £75 which gave you 3 months viewing of the 4 mix package and then you could cancel and keep the equipment. Unfortunately you have to leave your box connected to the phone for 12 months

how can you get the intractive feature of a sky remote to work?

Avoid Thommo boxes - they are basically Grundigs and suffer the same psu capacitor failure problems as the notoriously bad Grunnies

Press red on a channel carrying the interactive stream. Or press that large button top right on the remote labelled "INTERACTIVE" !
