Maybe it will, maybe it won't. But if and when it does I'm sure everyone will have good notification of it. I wouldn't start camping outside the store just yet though

The offers arn't that great as the LNB is usually cheapest model and dish almost too small for Ireland. Similar quality receivers can be got a similar price any time.

Dish size is always upped to be usable in Ireland - 60cm or so. LNB is something generic rebadged as a Comag and not terrible.

Last one was: 57cm dish, mount, lot of **** cabling (not really up to the job, believe it was single shielded aluminium), signal sqwaker (ditto), two twist on F connectors, twin not particularly low noise LNB, little pointless bendy thingy that might carry the signal through a badly installed window and the SL65 box was €99.

SL65 is VERY basic, no RF modulator, theres a digital optical output that doesn't seem to do anything (no way to configure it in the menus, etc). Plus you had to be there at 8am to get it....

I hate the menus on the SL65, but it does what said on the tin. The supplied coax is fine for VHF cable TV or FM radio.

57cm dish is a tad small for the Western half of country with the rain we get.
