    As per the title!
    I don't have the time to be driving up to Newry in the near future so online it has to be.

    Unfortunately the selection on amazon says delivery UK only so I can't use them.
    Any other online site?

    The box is for UK freeview-we've good reception from preseli here and that shopuld be even much better in september 09 as the power is meant to be increased 12 fold :)
    That said,I'd like a box with a good tuner ie one recommended for marginal areas.
    I'm not concerned about the different technology that will be later used in Ireland for now.
    At any rate with the way things progress Irish style,it will be a while before I have to.
    80 or 160 gig's.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I use the Tvonics 250 gb version in Wexford. I bought it last year from Aldi in UK. It is now available from Tesco for £139 (Bangor, North wales on Clearance)
    I also use Presieli Tx and usually get quite a good picture although there are some occaisions when I do get picture breakup.
    However, what I have done is
    a) have sold the PVR and will
    b) getting a freesat pvr when they become available.(not too bothered about dual recording initially)
    Main reason, reliability of signal from Satellite
    Other Half can watch RTE (?International) when it becomes avaiable in UK (and of course Ireland)
    We have crap reception of RTE in Wexford Town
    I already have RTE subscrption which we use in UK and when RTE available for free will drop Sky

    ps, forgot to mention, I use a signal booster at TV end to enhance signal
