Hi,
I posted just about a week ago in another board with interest in upgrading my sat box to a better model, now with all the uncertainty in the area at the mo, with certain loss of HD seemingly just around the corner and the future of SD seems to be up in the air for the long term as well. I'm thinking maybe the cableTV route is worth investigating further.
I would be interested in HD channels for sure, it's not essential but certainly preferred. I have read about some boxes not needing a server/sub to work which is not what I expected, but also there are some boxes that do require a sub to get the channels, however I've done a bit of googling and I'm yet to find a service provider for UK cable TV, maybe someone here could PM a couple of websites of these service providers so I can take a look? Also does this work in the same way as satellite servers in that you get a line or file to add to you're box?
I also have noticed people saying that on Cable boxes you can just lose channels, is this a case of losing a channel while watching and its back next time you scan it comes back? Or is it a case of lose it and its gone gone?
Thanks in advance for any help :)
