Might only apply in some areas, because we get 7 and 10 on our Foxtel.

Sorry to be pedantic but is life so short that you can't type 'you' instead of 'u', 'your' instead of 'ur' and 'receive' instead of 'rvce' ?

connections in the back scart yellow red white holes bring it.
The actual set will not work but if you buy a digital set top box for about 50 pound and plug it in you will be fine or Foxtel cabel if you are in a city area
this will give you the pay stations plus the tv stations.
The sat.service does not give you the tv stations.
Hope that helps.

I think I will give Sky/Foxtel a miss, we have Sky at the mo & my 6yr old is glued to it, you can't talk to him whike he's watching it. Plus my 11 yr old watches all the music channels & some of the video's they show are bordering on p*rn!
Trouble is I like watching all the programs on the discovery & such channels, but I am willing to sacrifice them for a better outdoor lifestyle when/if we get there.
I might have to buy a set top box though so the telly will work!
