    Well its actually quite simple.....:lol:

    You get the cheapest digital feed into your house, this happens to NTL

    Purchase a sky view box, replace the NTL box with the sky view...
    shaazammm

    You get all the sky channels and more...PPV free, thats right all the PPV league games free, NASN, for all your ice hockey needs. And some other interesting channels too.

    ??????:dunno:

    OK...I am in my sitting room right now. I see the NTL socket and I see the shittly little NTL Box.

    NOW!!

    You say I need a SKY VIEW BOX...I think I might have one from a previous deal I had with SKY in the past. Is that the correct box? The PACE box, a white thing??

    What do I do now???:dunno:

    PM me if you don't like talking about this in front of snoopy mods:nono:

    CHEERS!

    A sky view box will have to be bought from the local del boy...they range from 200-250. The sky view has nothing got to do with SKY, Check out e-bay.

    NTL digital is required. Most people have it, but if you just have the normal NTL the upgrade only costs €5 extra and I think thats bi-monthly

    How do I know if I have NTL digital and not just regular NTL?? Sorry to be so 80's.

    The local del boy it is then.

    PS do you have any idea how it works??? How does he get everything for you, and what does NTL have to do with it??:dunno: Obviously...it piggybacks their signal, but...:dunno:

    Cheers:clap:

    Nothing wrong with being old school, basically you get more channels with the digital feed. living,discovery, setanta etc.

    The sky view box is simply a decoder

    Ohh let me see, because Duddy is not in TITO or DE LA HOYA's league....I never said Duddy was a TOP CLASS Middleweight, at the moment his top 5 in a very weak division. Again MR. X had the "skills" to box Campas...MR. X beat Campas easier than Tito or Vargas did...that doesn't make MR. X better than either of those guys.

    STYLES...see Cotto is a boxer-puncher he will get HIT by Margarito the fight will be competetive for a few rounds, until Cotto superior skills start showing and he dominates....

    Mayweather vs. Margarito....no close early rounds...just pure domination by Mayweather from the start...WHY? Because Mayweather is more skilled than Cotto or Margarito and will use those skills....like Mr.X did against Campas and Duddy could not do against Campas...

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    :nono: I don't want to have to explain to you the difference between Welterweight and Middleweight my son, nor can I deal with your tangents of Margarito hate simultaneously because the main issue is still quite alarming to me, your persisting to hype up such a decorated Celtic garbage can, and again I'm feeling worried about your ability to think rationally. Let's start with Duddy's last incredible performance. I see you've put alot of emphasis on styles?,..ok, so tell me, when he struggled recently with some Italian journeyman, did this journo share a rare 'style' to make it a grueling competitive affair with your TOP ranked middleweight ASWELL?, :lol: ..what's so solid and formidable about Duddy again?.....you say he had no skills to outbox Yori boy, so he had to revert to brawling, and yes he sure did, he sure implemented his MAIN STRENGTH accoprding to you. But shockingly, afterwards, Duddy proved himself busted up, out on his feet, and bleeding from every hole, shouldn't he, similar to the skilless brawling of Yori, have a similar impact on the middleweight division?, because he didn't prove himself superior at all, and like you say, he had no skills inwhich to outbox him, virtually, what skills does he have in his inventory to present the top 5 at middleweight?,........:notallthere:... why will Duddy be more effective at middleweight than Yori Boy Campas?..
    You know, to distinguish yourself as a top contender you've got to dominate an array of journeyman who possess subtle variations in style, then step up to the old veteran's stage (like Yori Boy) and pass with flying colours, ..:lol: evidently, Duddy had to take a step backwards, and now that he's been biffed up a little more by a freshly plucked garden variety scrub, I think that ought to have certified to his management, that they'd best think about 'cruising' for a while, :lol: Duddy is not yet ready, even for 'old vet level', which progresses into the eliminator level, then championship level, and that's a fact, he's just a celebrated irishman, and really, the equivalent of Emmanuel Augustus, he's got a cult following, but it's time for him to 'cruise' a bit more, take it easy, he's young, apparently good looking, hails from a proud heritage, and draws pissed, apathetic irish in by the arena load, there's easy money to be made, and that's why you'll find this fight aint gunna happen anyway,..Duddy's a fraud, masked as a prosperous jewell on a local all-Irish card, as a hardcore boxing fan, you should not wish for the eventuation of this mismatch.

    What´s so funny about Taylor/Margarito, Margarito was more than holding his own against the 170 pounds version of Daniel Santos, who is a much better boxer than Taylor. :dunno:

    Santos is not a "much better boxer than Taylor"...Sergei Dzinduruk beat him down like he wasn't nothing. And Santos was always getting dropped....by Dzinduruk, by Sinclair, by Takaloo.....:nono:

    Taylor's 180, and he doesn't suck.

    You know Rubio you keep saying Taylor is "great and doesn't suck" I would be very interested in what you see in Taylor quite frankly.

    He gets into the ring with great fighters, and always wins enough rounds to make it close, the way Oscar De la Hoya and Emile Griffith did. If he'd lost to Spinks, people would be talking about how he was nothing, that he never won any fight, etc... but he brings it in every fight, and no one's really managed to figure him out. Even if he had lost to Spinks, he could still beat anyone under 170.

    He is physically strong enough to be durable. I mean Winky didn't hurt him and it took hopkins til the later rounds of the first fight to make him stumble around the ring. But I think you could say the same about Ruiz. Ruiz could probably stay in the ring with either Klitchko and survive by frustrating them and every now and then throwing a punch.

    I guess I wouldn't call Taylor great for the same reason I wouldn't call Ruiz great. But I know you respect Ruiz also and I can see the durability of a fighter as an interesting, almost throwback like quality. I see your point.

    I mentioned the comparison to Ruiz before, I completely agree with you. A great boxer does more than "just get by" and "squeak out rounds". Taylor has a style that is effective and hard to beat, but it is not great. The problem is I see many boxers using this style. Its a very low output, clinching in between one punch at a time style. It would go away if refs were forced to call the fight correctly similar to how Nady called the the RJJ/Ruiz fight. When Ruiz couldn't hold, he had nothing.

    My deceased son Muzse always said Jeff Lacy and Jermain Taylor were bums...

    I wish he were here to see all of this...

    I must admit, I thought Lacy had technical problems, but that he had the power to compensate it. I picked him against Calzaghe:notallthere: :lol:

    Too bad another one of those "hometown decisions" came to pass.

    It's not like that was a stretch. All of the 2000 Olympians were pretty much bum confirmed. I remember a 200-300 post topic like this on SecondsOut.com 6 years ago.

    no, that was a pretty good fight for Calzaghe. Come on Orthodox, where's the sense of humor? Did he not come out to play today?:lol:

    What about a hometown call for stopping the Manfredo fight?:tease:

    Hobson would serve himself better by not getting fucking dropped.

    Also, Hobson got iced in the rematch.

    Remember that terrible KO Nation card when the 2000 Olympic class debuted?

    Wasn't it Ricardo Williams, Jermain Taylor, Jose Navarro, Clarence Vinson and Michael Bennett?

    Yes, I think it was televised on HBO.

    I can't believe how shit the 2000 class of olympians turned out. Everlast from Secondsout.com was saying they would be shit all of 2000, and no one believed him. The shittiest crop of U.S olympians in recent memory.

    I wouldn't count out the class of 2004 when making that statement.
