    Moving into a small apartment in Dublin next month and hoping to get German and Irish free to air hooked up. Now we wont have much rights to change the place or drill massive holes etc.

    Is there a small mobile option perhaps? remember someone telling me of a window suction cup satelitte, but that sounds a bit ridiculous to handle both jobs if not one!

    Just wondering if anyone has ever managed to do this? Probably just end up streaming what ever i can, but it would be nice to have the fixed option.

    Cheers!

    if you need more info lemme know!

    I used to watch watch a bit on RTL (not just the boxing!) and the odd thing on Erste but with an 80 cm dish. If there's a sky mini dish there replace it and you're away in a hack. Any combi box from there should do it. I checked before for RTL online services but found nothing

    just to separate your query irish fta saorview you need an aerial and either a digibox or a saorview tv. for german fta you need a dish for astra 19.2 a sky dish will suffice.

    So if you don't have a saorview TV get a combo box connected to an aerial and dish

    By 'Irish free to air', do you actually mean the UK channels (BBC, ITV etc.), along with the Saorview lineup? (RTE, TV3, TG4.)

    The TV can get irish through an aerial some how do that's fine... Just the other channels. Thanks for the replies thus far.Not looking like there's an easy cheap choice
