Best English tv solution for holiday apt. - Page 3

Hi,

We have just bought a holiday apartment and are looking for a cheap but reliable tv & WiFi deal. Can you please let me know how the set up you have works, ie you have said you only pay when you use it. So is the cost 30 Euro a month every month, or 30 a month plus what you use.

Regard Jeff

I used dvbLab- really quick to set up- very small Sat dish on roof- circa 325 euros for set up then I pay 39eros per month for Wifi and freeview channels per month- switch on when required so only pay when me or guests are there- just send Lars a e/ m with dates for switch on....... Very simple I'm beside Haberneras so UK channels come via an Irish satellite...... With Norwegian and sundry other nationality channels- send an e/ m query on lie and the Engineers can visit to check a signal in your area

Hope this helps

Hi it costs around €350 for the dish, decider box and fitting. They are great guys and will come and give you a quote.

One off payment no future bills and all the Freeview channels. No WiFi just TV. 

Suits us as we didn't want monthly bills for a holiday home, several of our British neighbours have used them too.

You can get a better deal now. Updates in technology and roll out of fibre optic services. Microwave internet transmission is an older system, put in place to compensate for the pretty poor copper cable speeds/infrastructure in some areas. Been around for 15+ years, so has its limitations.

Microwave rebroadcast (which above DVB lab offers) usually max's out at 10-15mbps at the most. There are physical limitations in speed with the small microwave antennas and speed can also vary, as they are based on 'direct line of sight' from a transmission mast. If you are not in line of sight or 5km+ away from the nearest antenna, your speeds will drop. 

The best bet now is if available locally is to get fibre optic, as will considerably outperform the microwave type rebroadcast internet. TV services offered by these internet companies, whilst ok, are not the most comprehensive of TV services - pretty basic. Better to use a specialised TV company.

In reality now for almost the same money as mentioned above, you can get faster internet separately & TV with all the UK channels, catch up TV, video on demand and a much wider spread of overall content than the ISP's usually offer.  Probably 5 or more times the internet speed and maybe same multiplication or more with the TV content.
