All Sattalite services in North Cyprus are rubbish and a con as they all use card sharing, that is the Company buys one genuine card and u all pay to share theres.

Thats why it keeps freezing.



Internet Sunny Cyprus and Extend there another big con as they are crap.



so stay away from these just get a Sky Dish guaranteed reception.

Girne,



I agree the 'card sharing' companies are dodgy, and rely on a good internet connection - difficult - but you can buy a perfectly pukka subscription to DigiTurk, all legal and above board.



You can buy a legitimate subscription to Showtime - I know that, technically, you are outside their 'subscription area', but you could say the same for SKY



And finally, there are Free-to-Air transmissions from Nilesat - again, perfectly legal, and costs nowt!



So i think that it's a bit strong to say that "All Sattalite services in North Cyprus are rubbish and a con as they all use card sharing"...



Regards,

Keith.

Zerochlor - which do you use Extend or Nethouse?



Also, how much do you pay for your connection which is good enough to stream UK TV etc?



Cheers,

G

Zerochlor - is that 460tl per month wireless or ADSL? And I take it you meant 2mb download (not 2gb)?



Cheers mate,

I haven't experienced any problems with Extend either. I have the 1mb download and it often exceeds these speeds !!
