Hi

my TV provider has just switched off analogue TV, so my analgoue TV is now down to a few fuzzy channels. I might be leaving HU so I don't want to buy a new TV or re-new the contract. Does anyone know where I can get hold of/buy a DIGI TV digital decoder?

Thanx

Z

Are you anywhere close to Budapest?

I thought there was free, over the air analog broadcast of the basic Hungarian channels still? You may need an amplified in-doors antenna, 2-5000 HUF depending on how much you mind it looks ugly.

There's definitely free over the air digital broadcast, again, just a few basic channels all in Hungarian. You need a set top box, ~8000 HUF, usually the amplified antenna as well.

Then there are set top boxes that cost a bit more, but take a smart card with a subscription for more channels:

I have no idea whether the translated international channels have the option to hear the original English audio or not.

Or do you have a satellite dish? You could point it at some other satellite...
