    I am looking at getting chrous digital installed.
    They tell me they have to install an ariel on my roof.

    Will I get all the channels over this setanta LFC TV Sky Sports etc?
    Can I use the interactive features on sky sports for champions league?

    Will this ariel interfear with my digiweb wireless boardband and vice versa?

    I'm pretty sure that (unless things changed recently) that the interactive Sky Sports features are only available on Sky digital.

    Also, only Setanta channels available on Chorus MMDS are Setanta Sports 1, Setanta Golf and Setanta Sports 2, so no Liverpool TV for you :(

    Digital Cable's pretty good and can hold its own against Sky to a reasonable level and also has the option of broadband and phone. Digital MMDS however is a bit of a joke of a service, the line up is very limited.

    Unless you've some really strong objection to Sky, I would strongly suggest that you go with a dish rather than MMDS. There's just no comparison.

    However as long as it doesn't block the Digiweb signal and they don't disturb the previous install and use their own coax, it shoudn't interfere.

    I'm just after cancelling Sky and now the Sky Digibox does the same free channels as my other satellite receivers.

    I'd add to that that both Sky Digital and UPC (Chorus) MMDS are passive i.e. they only receive signals. They don't broadcast or transmit any signals back over the air, so they don't interfere with anything.

    As Watty said, unless the installer actually stood on your digiweb antenna or something or clipped a cable it would have no impact on it whatsoever.
