I really want to watch the English Premier League but I am having some problems with the various options.... let me explain:

• I don't have a phone line so I am not particularly keen on paying the $25/month phone line rental in order to get Swisscom's Bluewin Teleclub thingy, all in all the costs add up; 25 [line rental] + 19 [Bluewin basic] + 29 [Teleclub basic] + 13 [Teleclub sport] = 86CHF/month

If I get Internet thrown in this is another 50 or 70 CHF per month depending on the down speed, so at least 136 CHF/month.

• I have tried looking at Cablecom but apparently they do not do 'cable' to my address.

• I have looked at the local cable provider www.gagnet.ch and they say that I can get a digital set-top box and get pay-TV bundled onto this through the cable with Teleclub digital. Which would be cheaper than the Swissom option as the initial outlay for the set-top box is approx 170 CHF (a once of write off that I can easily live with) and then Teleclub digital (40 basic + 10 sports) = 50 CHF/month basically I don't have to pay for the phone line rental for the ADSL modem of Swisscom and a phone line I never use. For the record I am currently sharing internet Wifi with my parents-in-law who live next door, the coverage aint perfect but I can live with it.

Can someone give me some insight into CABLE television!!!

BTW - I do not want to install a satellite dish so that is out of the options.
