I think i'm going to be right behind you Austin7.....

Been trying to send a PM, but the system says not allowed although I have been a member since 2016.
Please PM with details if you are not allowed to post.

I would like to publicly thank Brian and Cheryl at Computer SOS. We now have a full package TV with 14 day catch up and it cost less than before.

If you cannot or don't feel able to name the provider, what is the price? Does it have any USA channels?

The board is currently being bombarded by spammers for TV firms. One in particular is very dodgy. Treat any PM you receive from somebody you don't know with a large pinch of salt.

I am having to delete upwards of 20 new account requests a day at the moment. I have got better things to do with my time to be honest. If you post something and it gets replaced by the word "SPAM", just accept it and move on. One account this afternoon slipped through the net, and posted about 20 times before I spotted them. Well, somebody else spotted them, and alerted me.

If you think that this approach is "getting ridiculous", it is a lot better than letting the spammers run riot. Believe me, if they were allowed, they would.

Does that include the library of thousands of films like we had before and loads of radio stations?
YES to above and more besides. :D

I see Sky are to enter the internet streaming business and will therefore slowly phase out the Satellites I guess. This I presume will help them gain access to more EU countries by obtaining licenses without the need to get satellites overhead. It they get a foothold into Greece then Cyprus will quickly okay them.
So it might not be long before the many on here who have said if they were available they would happily pay the going rate will get their wish. Sky Sports/ films etc in UK €60+ a month then Netflix for the TV box sets €29 a month and away we go.
Maybe I'll phone my pirate DVD man ?
Anyone tried the Primtel or MTN boxes by the way ?

That's great news...we're you transferred free of charge?

If you never ask the question, the answer will always be....no

Some folks think they are squeaky clean, :roll:

I also watched Sky news about Sky Dishes to soon be a thing of the past, and offer what I think should have happened when we lost Sky here on the island and in most parts of the EU, a paid subscription service via the Internet, I hope all of UKTV do the same, I would be happy to pay as long as it is not stupid money, as Sky was, in the end, I was paying €80 a month!! to a UK supplier, not Sky! as they would not do business here because legal requirements, just to appease the BBC and its licence fee no doubt, now they will be the big losers, streaming TV is here now, not in the future.

Just to be crystal clear are you saying you have got a totally new package provider via SOS as opposed to the old one having been reinstated?. I ask this because I am still not getting any picture, messages etc i.e. a totally blank screen. Like others I paid in advance as I was going to be away over the Christmas and New Year period not envisaging landing in hospital in the UK. For this reason I have not been able to visit SOS personally and I am becoming confused (not difficult) as to what has happened. On balance it occurs to me you have gone over to a totally new system - is that so please? so I can make alternative arrangements because the a"a few days" seems to have disappeared into the ether.

Thank You.

We were told that this full package contains no box sets and very few films, the latter not too bothered about but my wife is into her series on the box sets such as Poldark and Victoria etc.

At the end of the day it's up to each individual to decide which system to use. Lincoln is happy with the one provided by Computer SOS as it obviously suits his requirements. Best for people to go to Computer SOS and ask questions rather than ask Lincoln as you all have different needs. As for me, I'm more than happy with the systems I have.

They are very busy both on the phone and in the shop..

I have been this morning and changed to the same system that Lincoln has had installed...
I fills our requirements and is working fine..
But you do probably need to call them, or visit with questions about films etc..

Surely it is better to speak to the experts first hand?
