RE: OT Sky

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Nigel,

Just to answer the first question, it may be worth Michael getting a
"TurboNet" network card - which will then allow the use of a
normal ISP
connection to dial in.

TiVo's servers sit in the US, and just accept incoming IP packets, and
don't care where those packets originate.

For UK customers, there is, also included in the sub, a deal with a UK
ISP to accept dial-up, with the use of that dial-up restricted to ONLY
accessing TiVo's site.

Regards,

Mark

Michael,

A couple of points both relating to auto phone calls.

1. Does TiVo let you call in from an Irish phone number ?
2. A UK Sky subscription also uses a UK number for interactive use.
This
was not a show stopper before but I have a second subscription and was
recently written to saying they would cancel the subscription because
it
was not connected to the phone... The obviously check from time to time
now.

Subject: [ukha_d] OT Sky

having just moved from the UK to Ireland (South) I am now considering
my
TV options.

The cable systems are local, very limited and unreliable so my only
sensible choice seems to be Sky.

My choice is between getting an Irish sky system or a UK one. I
understand that a UK system would mean buying a subs paid box and
having
a subscription at a UK address for the viewing card.

This raises a few questions......

1 are the line ups of programs the same? I have a tivo so this is
important.

2 what channels would I miss by going for UK rather than Irish sky
service or vice versa?

3 does anyone know of any suppliers of kosher subscription free sky
digiboxes at reasonable prices ...best I can find are 300 - 350 ukp

sorry this is off topic but I know the list has a number of satellite
nuts and some people in Eire who may be able to help.

Thanks
Mick
