Keep the dish! It's already pointed at the right satellite to get Freesat.Also, will it be worth the hassal for me to get my sky equipment and dish all pulled out and the new equipment put in?

If i do then what Are the options for broadband?
Vodafone have an interesting deal of tv and broadband for €25 pm for first 6 mnths and €80 thereafter (and includes bt sport). I wonder though is it possible theoretically to cancel with them, penalty free, at end of the 6 mnths
Thanks Leo. All things considered i will prob stay put with sky at €69 pm.
The Cost of getting broadband alone in the house at €35+ puts me off switching as well as the hassle and initial outlay cost of switching over to freesat and saorview.
As far as I understand, with Sky after the initial 12 month contract, the ownership passed to you ....
...My tv is saorview ready
...i will still need broadband and there doesnt seem to be a stand out deal for this. Its going to be upwards of €35 per mnth and so i might be just aswell getting tv thrown in for an extra €15 per mnth which is the current virgin deal for first 12 mnths.
Ultimately though, having researched this for a while now, it seems to me that in order to have broadband as well i might as well just stay put with sky at €69 pm
...and save hassle of switching and changing. Saorview and freesat, whilst free pm, do have an initial outlay and would require a bit of hassle to switch to and i would then need to seperately sort out broadband costing prob €35+ pm.

Similar here, switched about a year ago. Got annoyed by Virgin Media sneaking up the price annually, for a ton of channels I had no interest in. The final insult was the "upgrade" to a VM Horizon box with its sub-standard WiFi. Already had a Sky dish, as well as Virgin Media. Bought a combi Freesat+Saorview receiver and a Saorview aerial, total about €140. Kept the Virgin Media broadband plus phone at about €50/month.I am in the process of switching from virgin media to Saorview. With virgin I have a large number of channels no one really watches. My virgin bill was 90pm for B.B. tv and phone. The outlay for Saorview is 289 and the B.B. bill will be 40 pm.
