I wish I could remember the name of the company, the show was in Exeter back
in the autumn. Prices for 256, 512 and 1mb were on par with ADSL. The
system uses your existing Sky dish but you do need a dual lnb.

As to Satellite and Sky this service has all the radio you'll be likely

the DAB services. Some Sky receivers have digi optical outs to which an
external DAC can work some magic on.


Can one get Broadband or a telephone service via satellite ?
