    Check out the following website:
    www.geocities.com/analoguesat/
    Or go to your local newsagent and buy a copy of the "What Satellite" magazine which gives excellent frequencies listings for all satellites that can be viewed in the UK/ROI
    The new edition for May is now on sale, and features in the "News" columns that RTE are in talks with Sky for transmission. Interesting.

    Here in the ROI the cost is four pounds. However if you are "Into" sky digital its pretty good to buy as it gives news, and a monthly listing for all television channels on satellite. As mentioned earlier, it does list the other satellites up there, and also sometimes features different stations available to anyone in the ROI/UK.
    Lots of ads aswell, annoying but lots of good gadgets for sky digital etc.
    By the way IrishBlimp, I visited an Eircom store to purchase a Sky TV link and was quoted sixty pounds!!!!
    What a rip off. What does your company sell them for. I remember checking a company based in Dublin website, and it was much cheaper than that. Also on mail order from the UK it would be indeed cheaper even considerating the exchange rate..........For example an extra Sky remote and TV Link on a British website mail order are 26 pounds sterling.

    Tanya:

    Pay no more than IR£25 for a TVlink. We sell them @ £22.99 or £39 with a replacement R/C (which would b best option coz then u have 2). £60 is a wee bit OTT! Was trying to find What Satellite in newsagents 2day but guess what? NONE!! In 3 shops!! Grrrr!! I assume it comes out on certain dates every month. Does it give TV listings for ALL skydigital channels for a whole month? That's very handy.
