Cable or Satellite
Hi... I am brand new to this,and need some advice.
I have a cable installed by NTL/VIRGIN but no Satellite. I would like to watch football on a Saturday afternoon, Sport and new films. At a very low cost. What system do you think would suit Cable or Satallite , and what equipment would you suggest. Thanks |

Re: Cable or Satellite
All up to you really.
Cable will be the easiest to set up, but downside is limited channel choice. The sat on the other hand, may be a pain in the rear to set up if you are doing it yourself....Or cost more if you are getting an agent to sort it out for you. The advantages is the large number of channels available on the sports, movies and porn. All your choice off-course.

Re: Cable or Satellite
Unless you subscribe to sky and setanta, you wont get much footy on cable. (legally) And in any case, the footy on UK channels is very limited. The only real option is to go for a motorised satellite dish and receiver to give yourself the greatest options.
