UPC Horizon

He must have movies and sky sports HD.

My sports would be something similar.

I bought the sports pack after finding I was spending a similar monthly amount on beer in the pub watching United games and it worked out cheaper, especially as I only pay half the bill.

It costs too much, especially during the summer when it isn't used. Sports for me was 65 out of the 139 per month. Crrrrrrazy! My uncle pays them 180 a month

lads when ye have that speed BB a android box is a great way to go.Pick one up for as little as €25 upto €150 and you will get all movie/sports.
Its obviously not as user friendly as a STB box but for the savings its well worth.Can always keep minimum TV package for  handiness or get a dodgy box.

What the hell is paying €180 on?

I bought a STB last week that has streaming(XBMC) FreeSat and Saorview all built in.Can also be set up for dodgy Sky .Great buy

Finally getting out of our contract with these utter bastards. sh*t service, sh*t technology and even sh*ttier customer relations. Anyway, long story short, we were all paid up until today which is when the contract ends. 6pm last Friday, on a new years fookin day of all days, the coonts cut us off. TV and internet. Having managed to get hold of an engineer on the phone, he said that he could see that we were fully paid til today but couldn't (or wouldn't?) turn us back on. He wouldn't give his name when asked and said that he could see that the 'customer loyalty section' had instructed it to be turned off. Has anyone heard the f**king likes of it?! Missed all the football, UFC, darts and movies over the weekend and could only send emails through my phone, which isn't ideal as I own an ecommerce business.

Who even gets the blame, UPC or Branson?? Felt like heading over to East Point business park to stab a random employee in the neck with a pen. Yes, I did just write that last sentence.

****s of the highest order. I cancelled my contract providing the required 30 days notice upon them changing their T&C's around this time last year. As such, I was entitled to terminate my contract with no penalty as they changed the T&Cs. Despite this, and receiving assurances on the phone, my next bill bore a €200 penalty for breaking the contract. I immediately cancelled the direct debit so even when the went to collect the few quid that was owed they didn't get it. Let them chase me for a while and see how they like it. Eventually I paid the last few quid owed less the €200 charge.

The wifi signal is poor from Horizon.  My phone doesn't pick up the signal well and it doesn't work upstairs.

Nah, once they swapped the horizon box over for the original wifi router, I couldn't get any signal upstairs either. The horizon box is an absolute pile of sh*te. Doesn't even tell you when your storage is full so happily deletes your recordings for the few days it takes until you clock that they're disappearing.
