Hi im a mad sports fan and would love to get Sky sports for the Heineken cup and all the other rugby games!

since Sly is the only real rugby option and it has crazy prices and cardsharing via satellite is a bit risky!

im now considering getting a basic package from NTL/Chorus in Ireland
and getting a box like eurovox!

im just wondering how do you get Cable TV -

1- Is it through your phone line?
2- is it true you have little or no chance of getting caught?
3- what is the best box to use with Chorus?
4- how ofter would it need to be flashed or updated?

1. No its through a cable.
2. your pretty safe, keep quiet about it, loose talk, walls have ears etc.
3.Eurovox is good.
4.Depends not often, its easy to do.

sorry but how do they get this cable to your house?

would the mesh dish work just as well with the eurovox?
