Advantages: It allows me beam my cable tv from the ROI to a friend in Texas. Disadvantages: I can't come up with any of these apart from the fact that the US version is much cheaper.
I ordered a SlingboxSoloSB260-110 on a Friday & had it delivered to my home in the Republic of Ireland by the following Tuesday. Fantastic delivery. The price [including delivery] beat anything available in local stores or on the web. I couldn't recommend Digital Fusion more highly!
The SlingboxSoloSB260-110 allows me beam my cable tv from the ROI to a friend in Texas. This is something that we have talked about doing for years, so that he can watch Irish TV/Premiership Soccer/Gaelic Football from the US.
We also found an iPhone app written by Slingbox that allows the signal from the SlingboxSoloSB260-110 to be sent to his phone. It has proved to be a great hit in his local Texan watering-hole. I highly recommend the SlingboxSoloSB260-110. ...
Advantages: Can't get into debt, lots of shops take it, from 11 with some banks, Disadvantages: Woolies don't take it!
The Solo card is a debit card aimed at young people that works like a Switch except you can’t get overdrawn – in other words in debt.

Though the Solo is accepted far more than the Visa Electron, which only a small minority of shops seem to take.
Solo offers a cashback feature which you can use at all shops taking Solo. Most places won’t charge you, but smaller shops might. I was ...

Advantages: No worries about carrying cash Disadvantages: Many well known stores don't accept them
Switch, Delta, Electron, Solo - they're all basically the same.
I used to have a Switch card - accepted by virtually every shop or service - a debit card by any other name.
I now have a Solo card, due to recent financial difficulties it was all I could get. This works in much the same way as a Switch card - it's a debit card which you hand over in place of cash for payment and saves time and hassle writing cheques. Funds are normally debited from your bank account within one to two working days and you can also get up to £50 cashback with it where that facility is available. It will not allow you to go overdrawn on your account unless you already have an overdarft facility - unusual with accounts offering a Solo card to begin with.
BUT, and it's a big but, not all the expected shops - including large, well-known stores, accept ...
