    Taking a look at the schedule I am starting to think that its maybe time to sign up to boxnation. Of course I'm looking forward to the big international bouts with Mayweather Cotto (this is prob worth the 10 quid in itself), the Kessler - Green and maybe Hopkins Dawson. But there are a few domestic talents bout that should shape up nicely with the Degale fight and Huck Afolabi and I'm sure they will announce the Groves fight too.

    What stopped me from purchasing BN after they encripted was the shoddy production they seem to put on. This extends to the poor picture, dreadful sound and annoying fight analysis. Just looked cheap! Have they sorted it out?

    Do you kind people advise me to buy?

    Thanks

    I purchased in December, and I'm happy enough, they do have some issues though when recording live, you are advised to record the programme directly after, otherwise you risk the recording ending mid-fight. Plus you can't series link Buncy's Hour (although this might be fixed now). I have Sky, so not sure if these problems also happen with Virgin customers.

    Picture quality to me doesn't seem that bad, I watch on a 40' screen.

    Although I guess if you're not too worried about watching 'live' you can save a tenner and pick up the previous nights action on the freeview hours.

    Once really good thing though with Boxnation, is that there are no ad breaks between rounds.

    As long as the fights keep coming and the price is right (which it is) who cares the production isn't as slick as HBO, cos if it was HBO slick it'd be three times the price. The picture quality is no better or worse than Sky or any other non HD satellite channel.

    If you're a boxing fan you should get it. I 'm happy with it.

    Purchasing it is a bit risky. I'd probably start off with subscibing first and see how you get on.

    I got it from the word go and i'm very happy with it. Its great to see so much Boxing and the cards usually last like 3/4 hours or more so you see pretty much the full bill.

    Dont see why everyone complains about paying an extra £10 per month when a lot of people seem to pay extra for Sky Sports or ESPN anyway. At least with BoxNation you get plenty of boxing for your money.

    I'm more than happy.

    If I had to find something to moan about it'd be that Buncey is on, on a Monday.

    Am out on a Monday.

    I've been in from the word go and I'm very happy. I think it's great value for money and I love it.

    As GodOG pointed out, it's less than a pint of bitter a week! :admin

    I just watch it at Mark's house.

    The £10 a month pays my mobile phone bill.

    When I'm rich it'll go towards heating my indoor swimming pool.

    Allegedly can get ****ed.

    The Huck Afolabi card is worth a tenner on it's own nevermind the rest.
