    Got a flyer today for a FTA setup which promises the above, I wasn't aware of any FTA that included a dozen English language (as I have to assume they are) film channels unless the provider is cheekily including +1 channels. Setanta Sport News doesn't even exist anymore does it?

    Mine for just €299 €199

    No such system with 12 free movie channels and setenta sports news is indeed gone out of business, so I would imagine its some sort of illegal box myself...

    How funny would it be if he were to get loads of calls with the same "argument" if the flyer "accidentally" got posted on lets say a Satellite forum :D:eek:

    No I guess it a FTA box noting illegal about it I take it SS News was FTA now it's gone so the list is out of date.

    Calling what you get on FTA movie channels is a push.:D

    I think it would be no harm at all. It's miserable outside, it would amuse us for a while.

    Sure, look at it as research :p

    The box they were selling must have been a Sky Box with a UK FTV card.

    Simply Movies is dead (as is Setanta Sport News) so I'm guessing, its a flyer thats simply hasn't been updated in some months.

    Fair play to you Mike.

    I rang him, didn't argue, just took the info he gave me.

    He said it's a Freesat box. I asked ( acting dumb - no comments please :p ) was RTE available on the box and he said not at the moment, but it will be available on the Freesat box in 2012.

    I asked about Satanta Sports News and he said, yes, it's available on the box along with 120 other channels.

    It's just clicked with me who it is. The email and first name give it away. They used to be Sky Agents.

    According to this guy The 4 irish channels will be on freesat in 2012.
    Now that's just our luck we all would love to have the Irish channels free on satellite
    But as we all know the world will end on December 21st 2012.
    So really this guy can only give a 2 year warranty on what he is installing
