Belfast Area: Nag 3 info

[seanmckeown]

I know sooner or later that all areas including my own (belfast) will be cut off.

does anyone have any rough idea how long it will take belfast to be hit?

A friend asked me to get him a starview box, well aware that it willgo off soon, but prepared to accept that and eventually just use it as a freeview box.

which one would people recommend? sv4 for ?70 or sv5 for ?80?

how long is a piece of sting
could be a week could be 4 months could be 6
i wouldn't buy if i was you , look at investing into satellite

[seanmckeown]

its not for me. its for a friend and ive warned him it could last days, weeks, months so he knows but still wants one.

so what would people recommend? sv4 for ?70 or sv5 for ?80

i've got a sv4 myself and i've had no problem with it, so would there be any reason at all to go for sv5 rather than sv4?

[HoTTDubbER]

cant help you with that im afraid i use Eurovox for cable

there is a starview 6 out with lan connection which could have other possibilities dont know much about it tho. but i would get the cheapest, and with you having an sv4 u can help him out with it

dont bother mate, when nag3 kicks in, our boxes wont even be f/view, just 4 or 5 channels...a f/view box will cost ?20 tops...
but you never know.. it might last for months... but....thats up to him. he's paying!
