Thanks for the info. I might be tossing that coin. While waiting for installation. Does anyone have old dvds to sell off cheaply or give away?

You are having bad luck with flats.
Three years ago you were asking for DVDs because your satellite was broken.

Hello,

Before choosing one or the other TV network provider, you must inform yourself over the place / region where you live. For Belgium, depending on the region, you will have to go through one or the other company.

Concerning the financial part, it will depend on the options you'll choose. Should be taken into account an installation period and activating more or less following the supplier.

Each will give you a different view on suppliers. The only thing I would say about it is that in choosing suppliers (historical), I never had any problems. It's not like with others ...

The ignorance of French or Flemish should not be a problem. For most operators are used to manage the records of foreign customers.

And why not install via satellite, this can be done very quickly. And above all it would give you access to a lot of English speaking channels.

Thanks for your input Phipiemar, I have actuaaly though of satellite, but is not not way more expensive than the two other options?

As elsewhere, this will depend on the subscription style that you will take. For the satellite, if you buy the equipment separately, the minimum subscription will return to you at € 11.90 / month without VAT. Get access to 527 TV / radio channels.

You could of course take a complete package phone / internet / satellite tv but it is expensive and not really perfect the internet level. So you could take a subscription with a classic internet provider around € 27.50 / month excluding VAT and a prepaid GSM card.

While a pack GSM / INTERNET / TV in a conventional provider will return to you at € 62.95 / month without VAT.

Thumbs up phipiemar, very useful info. And I understand where Mandideman is coming from. I had gone to proximus office, they said there is no coverage on my street, and they would need governmental approval to dig to install cables, and they intend to come and dig on 3oth December, it all sounds too complex, and I think i'll just look else where, really.

Really thinking Telenet or Satellite.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the inputs.

sent me a bill of 39€ for install they never did.

That's a problem all over the world.
You have to tell them in a very forceful way, but remaining polite, there was no install and you won't be paying.
