Unless you have a very strong signal yeah. If you got snow before, even a little, you will have the type of problems i mentioned with digital broadcast.
What is Sky+ btw? Broadcast TV? What's it's range? Any idea how many watts they are operating at? |
Satellite TV with a box with its own hard drive - about 100 hours capacity, giving you 'one touch' recording of an entire series, and chasing playback. Useful for idiots like me who can't remember to record things, and the best way of avoiding adverts. In fact, because of the latter advantage, we hardly watch anything truly 'live'.
Over here the free digital is generally fine, but as a big cricket and rugby fan, not to mention the NFL, and a confirmed soccer hater, I need the Sky Sports package as they have cornered the market in those first three sports (they do show the superbowl on terrestrial TV, though).
