RE: OT Sky

["Des Gibbons" <des@xxxxxxx>]

My parents have both a UK sub and an Irish sub, and are having a
dilemna
which one to cancel.

>From Memory, the Irish one has all the RTE channels, but doesn't have ITV
or
ITV2. If you can get the RTE channels on an aerial, then I would say go
for
a UK sub.

Best place for 2nd hand digiboxes is Ebay. Just make sure you buy from
someone with a lot of good feedback!

Cheers, Des.
