Best alternative to Sky

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

I'm looking to move away from sky and want to know the best alternative in PHs opinion. unfortunately I do enjoy sky sports, but really just want to mainly get the main satellite channels plus Dave, Discovery, comedy central etc. HD would be nice

thanks

I would also be interested to know what the best alternatives are.

Ive just checked virgins website and unfortunately I dont have fibre optic so they are not an option.

I got rid of Virgin a couple of months ago and replaced it with catch up services, streaming, downloads, etc.

Humax freesat - http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&amp...

Pays for itself soon enough

Good choice, except for the small fact that none of the channels the OP is interested in are available on Freesat.

I dropped Sky a while ago and I can't have Virgin so I just got used to not having Eurosport and Discovery etc. Dave can watched on Freeview easily enough.

ideally I want Motors TV too, but that only appears on Virgin ( cant get it as no FO) and Sky. Looks like im stuck with Sky.

MotorsTv is available on "Freesat by Sky" (different from Freesat) as it is now free-to-air.

Would love to go Fresat but Motors TV and Eurosport are the only channels I seem to watch
