*IF* it would link into my MCE, I'd consider it.

Although with a pair of fast broadband lines, HD streaming is a reality, and probably the future...

break off  >:( :-X ::)
Is that not available in the Suffolk countryside. Ahhh, shame.

Mind you, Ipswich only got it a very recently ;D

Sadly all of our special installs are contracted out  :(
To monkeys, I'm afraid, IME.

If I wanted Sky, I'd fit it all, so all the Sky mogrels would have to do is plug the box in.
;D ;D ;D ;D and i didn't start this .

A tenant of mine had Sky installed and I didn't have a problem at the time.  A couple of years on, different tenants complained of damp patches in the walls in the front and back bedrooms.  Turned out that the Sky Numpties had fixed the dish on on the back of the house, slung the cable over the roof and down the front.... BUT the cable was all tight and they didn't loop it, so the water ran down the cable and straight down the walls!!!  >:(  Utter, utter retards!!!  >:( >:( >:(

Indeed and sky know that all to well......hence thier move towards streamed content as well.

Sooner or later the Sats will get much less use as the costs increase and bendwidth becomes a bigger limitation

You say that, but with streaming media Sky's costs only increase. Unless we build our own CDN, which is quite possible. But with Sats, there is a fixed cost, no matter if we have 10 million customers or 15 million, plus its the same delivery if you are in central London or in Lakes. So don't think they are written off just yet, but it is moving that way, but its going to be some time I think.

I'm currently experimenting with my Raspberry Pi & various builds of XBMC. Some like OpenElec do include PVR, but only certain hardware.

Oh they are.

Video on demand is becoming the publics expectation, time bound streaming is cheap to do (E-Tree), Sats have limited bandwidth and sat costs will increase.

Huge sections of the country still have poor internet connections though, but when fibre is in every home its clearly the way forward  :)
