Any chance of more info on "hundreds of tv channels & "large satellite system"?
I want to dump UPC as well but do not want to spend €€ and end up with a poor replacement so experienced comment would be good.
Foe example, What Sat Box do you use? Best place to get it, etc.
100cm Technomate dish set up in the back garden,2 octo LNBs attached to the dish,one is for Uk and other is for European channels.Amiko set top boxes at each TV location around the house and also an IPTV box at each TV location too.So I can watch one thing,my wife can watch her soaps and my daughter can watch her kids channels or music channels.We are all happy this way and no fights over whats on TV.
House is wired with alot of CT100 co-ax and Cat6 cable and I have a small 12U comms cabinet installed in the attic which houses the likes or BB router,and the 1U patch panels for the co-ax and cat 6 cable.Diseqc switches are then used to recieve,send and split the signals at every TV location around the house.
I watch my live motorsport for free on Australian,Asian and UAE Free To Air TV via my IPTV boxes.All english speaking channels too so I get nice live commentary for my motorsport.

I buy my equipment from Dave in TV Trade and also from Sam in Satworld.
Dave from TV Trade has a Youtube channel with hundreads of "how to" videos on satelite systems,cctv kits and also computer equipment.
Both are Irish companies with online shops and you can also buy from them in person in their shops too.

I also buy some stuff from Poland too,as you can get good deals if you know exactly what you are looking for.
You can also pick up some good 2nd hand stuff on
www.adverts.ie if you are on a tight budget and want it as cheap as possible.
But as with everything in life "you get what you pay for".
