    Your location might prohibit choice. Are you in a cabled/MMDS area? If you are there is a choice, but it depends on your needs.

    Sky have a decent enough "good friend" offer, if you know someone with Sky already, get the details from them.

    There are other, non-Sky choices, but it can involve sourcing the dish and box yourself and/or English relatives (if any!)

    generally MMDS means less digital channels

    MMDS is cable through an aerial

    if its underground you will be fine

    after 2 years on NTL i'd recommend not to touch it, if it weren't for the broadband connection i'd have left them years ago, there isn't a day i don't have a disruption on the signalm, and it's twice as annoying when you pay an extra tenner (on top of 117 every 2 months) to see the prem plus game and it loses the signal for nearly 20 minutes on two seperate occasions.
