    Freesat, Freeview, Sky?
    Rather depends what channels/phone/broadband service you want, you need to give more info.
    Broadband is exchange specific, so no advice can be given without knowing what exchange you are on.
    Do an exchange search on samknows.com for starters.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • oh macman thanks thats a fab site i didnt know about :0

    We can only get BT, orange & talk talk in the new area.

    I like the idea of freesat, there is already a dish so could we just buy a box & connect it? or are the freesat dishes different than sky dishes?

    with regards to tv probably freesat channels will be enough, mainly we watch catchup so if we had our own freesat recorder we can set this up, or watch online as we have our computer set up with the tv.
