Yeah that's always the way with sky/UPC . Probably easy enough get them on torrent sites.

I recorded a few football documentaries last summer on the history channel onto the Horizon box. A few months ago I got rid of the history channel amongst others such as Film 4 +1 , TCM etc... Anyway I went to watch the documentaries that I had recorded and says I am no longer subscribed to the History channel and won't allow me to view them. WTF? I recorded them when I was subscribed and assumed they would be permanently on the box. Has this happened to anyone else? |

Another reason enticing me to leave Virgin. Their customer service is the worst part of their business, the operators read answers from a guide in Manilla, completely clueless whatsoever.
Will look into the Eir subscription, is the BT package free with Eir? I've read it is free but people quoting on radio it is 7€ on top of the subscription.

On a side note I'm moving house and no longer need the UPC so I called up to cancel, you know that scene in Friends were Chandler wants to quit the gym exactly like that, about 20 minutes on the phone saying I don't need anymore eventually had to tell them I was moving to Venezuela

Eir launched a TV service recently to compete with Virgin.
Their Internet is awful so needed some reason for people to move. They want these Eir Sport games to not be on Virgin, hoping people would move to Eir TV to see them. REckon they asked Virgin for an increase, knowing Virgin would pull out. Lot of unhappy Rugby/GAA/etc fans on Virgin, and now some PL games that people won't be able to see. Also, am I right in saying the Setanta games are the Saturday Night Football and the Midweek Football

Not much Virgin Media can do here as Eir own the Setanta/BT package now and obviously using the package to increase their own subscribers.

I was thinking that would be the case. More than likely the protections were implemented as part of a EU directive across the EU. It's good to see as these Corporations are blood sucking b@st@rds.

Fair enough chief. Fwiw we have two devices that stream seamlessly at the same time. I take it that virgin media customers are now in a position to terminate the contract as it's material change to the agreement. That would be the case in the UK. Would I be correct in saying that about Ireland? Edited by colemanY2K - 19 Jul 2016 at 8:00am |

There's often three of us trying to stream at the same time, and the reliability is great with Virgin. We don't have any speed issues and, frankly, I'd like to keep it that way. With Eir, peak times have much lower speeds than the advertised speeds. Also, live streaming quality is much worse than watching directly on the box. I just wish Virgin weren't such cheapskates, is all. It's obvious they went looking a reduction, that they weren't going to pass on, they didn't get it, and they've thrown their own customers under the bus. |

Dodgy Box all the way lads ... Saving over €100 a month & I have absolutely every channel under the sun . Al Jazeera are looking to get in on the football & will be bidding with their big oil money backed bosses & will continue to increase the sub & also add to more channels needed for viewing football . €100 a month x 12 months equals 1200 for following Ireland on away trips for the year

Jesus Dave, 60 Mbps is fricken fast. What are you doing that you need more?
I just did a speed test and I'm getting 19 Mbps which allows me to seamlessly stream live TV. I don't recall any buffering in the past 12 months. |

I just checked out Eir: they only offer 60 MB broadband where I live. Just did a speed check there now and I'm getting 80 MB over wifi with Virgin.
Absolute pain in the arse. I don't want to have to sign up with Sky (the cost of getting a second box is 179 if you want a + box that you can rewind), I don't want to sign up with Eir (the broadband speeds are terrible, and that 60 MB is pretty far from guaranteed), I just want Virgin to keep Eir Sports on their f**king platform. It's a total shambles. |
