New house

InhaleMood

Hi All,

I am hopefully moving into a new house soon and am considering what TV/broadband options I have.


It is listed, so I think it will be difficult to get planning permission for a dish to be installed. The current owner has Virgin.


I am thinking about just going for BT, however, I saw there is the possibility of getting Sky Sports channels through them. Would I need a dish to receive these?


Thanks,
Tanya

Its streamed, so no you wouldnt need a dish.

To be honest though, if you are in a Cable area for Virgin I wouldn't even look at BT. Its hard to beat the VM Cable product.

Thanks. VM is too expensive I'm afraid

Sky Sports 1 and 2 are available as a chargeable option with BT Vision, but only if you can get Infinity in your area. It's not available over plain ADSL.

You get what you pay for - BT cannot provide you with anything worthwhile that is not sent down the phone line, so unless you have a good connection it will be a compromise.

If cable IS an option for you, it would be better to seek a cashback or other deal to make it cost effective.

A listed building does not prevent you from having a dish mounted on a short pole in the garden. It is not necessary to mount the dish high up on a wall, all that is necessary is a line of sight to the satellite. Any independent installer can do this for you.
