    BBC HD is the only channel the uk cable company supplies at the moment although they have said by autumn there should be up to 5 channels!

    wow!

    I don't think its worth it really.

                    Considering the possible introduction of Nagra 3 (which would mean an end to using Dreambox's on the cable network) is it a good idea to buy an expensive cable DM800HD?

                    A DM800HD sells for roughly ?330 right? For the same money you could easily buy a HTPC with HDMI out and a HD capable PCI DVB-C cable tuner card.

                    i.e. AMD 785G IGP motherboard + Sempron 140 for under ?100. A HTPC case, 2GB DDR2 memory, SATA hard drive & HD capable PCI cable tuner card would be well under ?230.

                    Not to mention it would be hundreds of times faster, include everything a normal PC does, a web-browser & ability to play 3D games etc. all through your HDTV

                        THE TRUTH
                        The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

                        Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
                        The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.
