some basic questions

grousedogtom

Ok here i have a list of basic questions for whoever would be so kind to answer.I am thinking of changing my existing sky + set up to dtt /uk free to air to avoid monthly bills , my questions are as follows
1)Will i have all irish channels at present on dtt or will this be later in the year
2)Is there any box which i can use to record with similar to my existing sky+ box
3)Will any features like pause , rewind be available.
4)At present i have two magic eyes fed from rf2 on sky box can i keep this set up or if not can i use a second box on second tv bringing coax from same dish and aerial .
Thanks in advance

1) DTT at launch in October (ish) will have RTE 1/2, TG4 and at some stage, TV3. If you're talking about getting digital TV over satellite, I
believe that no Irish channels are available free to air on satellite.
2) Yes, DVR boxes exist for both terrestrial and satellite.
3) They should have pause/rewind etc
4) AFAIK the magic eyes only work with sky boxes. There are other
radio-based systems which can carry out the same function but
they're not as elegant as the magic eye system.
