    They sent someone out a while ago and he changed the cards...they forgot to send new ones

    Theres a message on the 1908 "helpline" about the new cards, just saying to swap em over and that people may be missing channels as of today if they havent changed their cards yet

    They offered to credit my account for the 12 days channels were missing but i told em no way - im gonna get as much out of those f*ckers as i can. If they had just said in the beginning they they forgot to send the cards i wouldnt be half as annoyed, but instead they told me lies and kept me waiting for someone that was never gonna show up, amateurs.

    Did anyone notice their price for basic cable for new subscriptions has gone UP by €7 yet they are offering less channels than previously? Ya thats how you entice customers...

    you will notice that what they are giving ya also, a lot of it is FTA channels anyways!! BBC, ITV, etc etc, same with a lot of whats on nthell in dub, rubbish, you would be better off with a sub from sky at 21.50 with the sports pack which is 30 notes, which is 51.50 and ya get a lot more chans than is on chorus, if you were to go that way. I would reckon your not the only one gav that didnt get cards from them and others in the same boat mate

    this is whats FTA on Sky and if you include a basic pack, still a hell of a lot better than corus

    or go the Sat and dreambox way

    ya need to state where ya are,

    In the dub area, check if there is being work being done or if there are outages in your area, could be a localized problem

    Aye mate, was just asking that chap from d15 as the service in dublin is working 100 percent,

    Think is time perhaps to look at alternatives sitja, perhaps dreamboxs and sat etc, cant see N3 been cracked anytime soon and box makers know this, but like anything, dont get rid of yer box yet, ya never know what could be down the road ; - )

    Would a Dreambox 500c potentially decode all channels (for purely educational purposes) broadcast using Nagra 3 on cable?

    I'm very confused on all this. Sorry.

    This is where I'm getting confused though.

    Sat. (S*y) is nagra 3 right? Dreambox 500s can decode that.

    Cable. Ch*rus is also nagra3, and Dreambox 500c cannot decode it?

    Lads,
    Have read thread. Thanks for all input.
    I'm in north co dublin (cho**s), using SV3, with f/ware ver 8.04 e.
    All channels gone except RTE1 and Setan** Irl.
    Very strange !
    Is there any way of even getting basic FTA channels (BBC, UTV etc ..)on SV3 ? As reception tru Box better than feed direct to TV.
    Why cant it process the FTA channels which I get anyway when I plug cable direct into TV ?
    Any feedback welcome.
    What is best sattelite to invest in going forward - as I do not intend to pay ransom to S*y on UP*.

    J 90.

    rs2kie the dm500s isnt decoding it as you may think..... someone is still paying a subscription just sharing it out. so its still pay tv and if you plan on going the satellite way its still pay but maybe not as much.
