Good for anyone unfamiliar with it.
Apart from the lidl box + aerial set up that I have and many will be familiar with (article plugs www.satellitetv.ie at €290 for a kit), it also mentions UK Freesat's HD box with 500GB hard drive to record up to a years programmes - per Tony Moore of www.satellite.ie That €300 for dish box & installation.
What it didnt mention was that RTE plan to go free-to-air shortly. Anyone have dates, or even an expected year - on this? MIght not be worth buying and installing an aerial if going to get everything on the dish is a years time - get Sky subscription for a year, then dont renew and have RTE on free-to-air.
I presume TG4 and TV3 would have to go free-to-air as well or risk losing people due to dwindling aerial users basis.
