Someone mentions they've got Setanta via Freeview and the guy goes literally mental with rage.

I think Steven makes an important point, and quite frankly Herman, you're only dismissing him in the vain hope that your attitude and forum kudos will cover up what is a hugely embarassing and quite frankly unforgiveable error on your part. Shame on you.

and i can't even do the smily created in your honour at you, when it's never been more apt

Has he gone yet?

And why has he put Hewlett Packard in his username?

we signed up for setanta about a week ago and it's still not working. so maybe they're *****

I was wondering about this.

Just how sparse is the NASN coverage? And if my box has no slot (hmm..), how much am I shelling out just to upgrade?

So what do you actually need to get this - just a Freeview box with a slot and then order Sentanta?

My current one doesn't have a slot, but if it's that easy I'd be prepared to try it for a few months.

You can get Setanta via broadband for £2 a month cheaper. I might get that since I have my old PC laptop hooked up to my TV as a DVD player anyway.

this thread is excellent, but a few questions, why is herman so eager to watch french football? and what was the herman smilie?

all of the the above questions are actually genuine requests for non silly answers. that probably makes me sound less genuine doesn't it, hmm.

would love to be at one of hewletts rage parties whispering setanta

I think the point Stevenhp1987 was making was that the service is provided via your Freeview box by Top Up TV, so you'd need to contact Top Up TV to upgrade, but that's all you really need to know

I think he just went into a bit too much extra detail
