[QUOTE="rato, post: 426484, member: 193950"] At the Tv Cabo website: _http://www.tvcabo.pt/Televisao/ComparativoCanais.aspx There is also an [B][I]exclusive[/I][/B] "2nd home" package for sat users, but when you least expect it,you still have to buy an extra Powerbox kit, another [B]99,90 Euros[/B](There goes the "exclusive":-DOH!:-HB)So the best advice is take your receiver with you and put up a dish yourself. The Powerbox kit + dish & a so called "LNB"(pics of the LNB plus the dish very soon:)), was at [B]148,90 Euros[/B], but with TV Tel in the game NOW they lowered it to [B]99,90 Euros[/B](Imagine all that money they made throughout all these yearsO-no). Installment is [B]80 Euros[/B], but sometimes it's included with an offer. Watch out for a technical assitance to the address that the Powerbox is registered:-shifty! Prices are [B]50,84 Euros[/B](4 hours included), plus [B]25,42 Euros[/B] just for the tech guy to go to your house!!!!:-Nooo A whopping [B]76 Euros[/B] is billed to you and still your not going to know what you are going to pay next(no Powerbox substitute while yours is being fixed & your also still billed the regular month:-omg)! So it's better off getting a new Powerbox(well... at least it's brand new & will work for another year or so.:P), or if you get the package in the Algarve at a local satellite dealer(where you got you Sky dish installment:D), give them a nice smile and they might just fix it for a minor fee. What do you get in the kit: [IMG]http://www.sapo.pt/gfx/391675.gif[/IMG] 1 - The famous Powerbox + Nagravision card(white color now) 2 - Remote(incredibly batteries are included!) 3 - 12V Transformer(estimated life span: 8 months to a year!) 4 - Scart Cable(for hooking up to the camper tv or the one in the kid's room) You also get a 60cm white "TV Cabo Serviço Digital" dish, an LNB, and dish support. Manuals & Tutorials(in Portuguese of course) are available at the TV Cabo website. The Video On Demand is charged with your bank card. Minimum charge is 10 Euros. The balance is shown on screen when you change a channel at the right bottom corner" Saldo VOD" [IMG]http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/2629/channelmenukn9.png[/IMG] The famous "Powerbox: [IMG]http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/7430/powerboxdh7.png[/IMG] Famous for being a second living room heater, it's crude image quality, poor tuner, yawning power-up times & doomed failure from time to time, the Powerbox has also been nicked in Portuguese:"Powerbosta", which means "Powerpoop:-toiletO-Ha".
