    Hi, just realised I'd end up with multiple posts

    2 things:
    any one an idea of the cheapest way to get FTA tv, want one setup for my mum, one for myself. I'm in a ground floor apartment so I guess have to be sure the dish can e positioned. Some one before suggested getting sky for a yr as an option of getting the equipment. I see Daltons charge a crazy figure.


    other thing was wanted to set up a wireless network at home. Firslt got a AP and a pcmcia card for the lappie, but can't access the bband wirelessly , most likely just not knowing enough :(

    In a few weeks getting a new pc would like to network theat with lappie and maybe PDA, and shared bband access . Wondering is any local techie I guess

    Used sky box for FTA, can usually get one on FS General,can set up easily.
    (give me a shout if you need a hand) Wireless network reciever, got one last week €85, can now access BB anywhere around the house.:)
