Hi
I just moved into a house in Churchtown Dublin and the tv only has 3 channels (rte1+2 and tv3) whats the cheapest way to get a few more channels?
I was looking at digital tuners, analogue antennas , sky , upc, and the like. I wouldnt need hundreds of channels just something under 20 a month.

Thanks in advance

Both Sky and UPC have basic packages for around €20 per month.

The other option is to stick up a free-to-air dish which will give you quite a few channels for free. Youll get the UK terrestrial channels (BBC, ITV, C4 etc) along with a lot of rubbish. Youll then need a normal antenna to pick up the Irish channels.

At least you don't pay for "the Rubbish" channels if you get a free-to-air dish instead of going for UPC.

If you have the possibility you should go for a dish (hands down IMO) as you have much more freedom to chose what you want...
