Post Number 22 | This was posted on another forum by someone caught out by one of the 20 channel specials Quote:
Dear forum,
I have been watching the entries for the past few weeks without making an entry to see how the TV broadcasting debate is going.
I wish to tell you my story since my last update :
We paid € 210 to Telmicro for another years service in July, more fool us !.
I had happily/smuggly watched Telmicro with SKY Sports, Setanta sports channels knowing that in the UK you had to pay a premium price for them. Do I feel guilty for that time, I guess not.
To be honest I was shocked they were there and available for nothing. I have read some forum colleagues who found this "option of stealing" a payback when the story of Telmicro went "public".
Remember, I paid the subscription in good faith !. Someone else took the risk, welcome to human ugly life.
Since the "disconnection" of Telmicro, we paid another € 350/400 to a company as describedUKTV Free View ( Costa Blanca Times or RTN )
"SUMMER CRAZY DEAL" No Monthly Payments
Full Warranty & Aftersales Service
20 Channels €395 Including; BBC1,BBC2, ITV 1&2, Cartoons, Channel4, Movies 1&2, Setanta Sports, Sky Sports 1,2,3, RTE 1&2, Sky News, UK Gold, Channel 5, Discovery, Sky One, UK Living, TCM and XXL? dont know what this is, never got it !. However they advertised a 30 channel and 68 channel service but they were not offered, why ? we are stupid, because the
channels in these packages were being scrambled as the service wasself-imploding. Of the 20 channels we had we have 10 left and there is a message on channel one the all will be scrambled shortly. €395 for 3 weeks viewing is pretty expensive. I called John from the advert on 693 353 574 for a full refund as advertised by the Hotbird satellite admin people but thus far no reply. Am i naive ! Not, not gonna here from them again. If I do I will let you
know as they have credibility.
Check my previous entries, I ask again, especially from some of the forum colleague namesi recognise , this is how it will work only;
1) Contact ITV and all connected channels
2) Contact BBC and all connected channels
3) Contacted SKY
4) Contact Setanta
Questions: How much to subscribe to each and every channel
Questions: Can me cherry pick the channels per cost/per month
Questions: Can they quarantee broadcast if they receive payment (Satellite etc)
Questions: How much for box/dish maintenance and repair
Questions: How many people on the Costa want UK TV
Calc: Divide the quote by the number of people and offer the monthly charge
This is a basic calulation offering.
So, 1) Question to the forum RE: UKTV Free View (Any Experience)
2) Check my previous forum entries , Legal TV, Credible TV , Reliable TV, UK TV !
