have just been moved down to 152 and 153 on the EPG repetitively. They have just freed up 119 and 121. I wonder what for.
Notised myself.
So, not all timeshift channels were moved, but only More4+1 and G.O.L.D.+1... How that makes sense will be a mystery, but I guess they must have an Einstein working in the channel listings department looking into it as we write :rolleyes:
Oh, maybe getting us Smile+1 and/or Buzz+1 :eek:0 -

UPC's EPG should be as valuable as Sky Ireland's EPG. ????
Erh, Sky has 9+ million subscribers and UPC in Ireland has 328,000 digital subscribers. A huge percentage of the channels on the Irish UPC EPG carry UK only adverts - non Irish, so basically worth nothing to the revenue pool geographically segmented so I see your point :rolleyes: You think the EPG is made up what ever way Sky finds it fit?
Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens with new channels joining the EPG. My guess was Dec 1st, Tuesdays (and Thursday) are usual the day that new channels are launched (at least on SKY) so maybe same for UPC. I don't know...
patrickmooney, I actually like having the time shift channels right next to the actual mother channel. Yes, the SKY EPG is a bit of a mess, but this is because EPG placement is like a commodity. Some are very expensive I'm made believe

Add E! to that list - from December'09
G.O.L.D are/where also due to add Irish adverts
Are you sure about E4+1 & Living+1 ?
**** Irish TV is dead in the water.
If E! are going to be showing ads from Dec '09, I hazard a guess that it may be soon appearing between More 4 and Gold.
Living +1 no they don't, don't know why I put them in that list. I know that TAM Ireland release viewing figures for the +1s so I just assume that the sell advertising.0 -

I just find it odd that UPC seems to have a half finished or even half thought through product before they start releasing new products to a small part of the network.
When you get out of the larger demographics, yes I can understand that there might not be a revenue sense in offering certain products (i.e. cost will be higher that the revenue gathered) so fine. But when you live in the middle of the city centre in a highly populated area and can't even get basic BB from UPC and/or HD then there is something wrong.
Most if not all of these services are available in the newer satellite towns (like the outskirts of Dub 15) because UPC is afraid that many potential customers would turn to a sat dish pointing towards 28.2E and therefore they would loose rev. This leaves the rest of us behind Why, because many places in the cities you can't just put up a dish and UPC knows this!
Too bad we don't have any other choices as UPC is running a monopoly
Still I would love to see Sky Arts and either Good Food or The Food Network on the opening EPG slots...0 -

Hi Elmo,Free Sat, Free Analogue, Free Digital (in some areas), Sky and a few smaller companies.
So how exactly does any of these providers help me, living in a densely populated area? I can only get piped TV as putting up a dish is not an option?
Free Digital? Do you mean the massive choice of DTT which includes the 4 national channels and a channel showing print-boards being produced without sound?
I'm unfortunately stuck with UPC

I'm also stuck with UPC (in an apt). There is the option of Magnet, but I think they are worse than UPC. UPC also have decent broadband bundled into our package & theres no HD with Magnet. Mind you, the rest of us could be waiting a while for HD from UPC ourselves 0

Patchy city centre coverage is probably explained by civils works involved in upgrading the cable network being far more protracted, complicated and costly in the city centre compared to the suburbs.
I think you have a very good point there Moriaty, but one would think that the city centres of larger communities would have the "pipes" to lay cables ready. I live just off mount street and there is a good mix of office buildings and residential areas so one would think all was ready for UPC, but no
Don't know what the rev man looks like at UPC, and somehow it doesn't seem like they (i.e. UPC )know themselves
Way off topic again...
Anyway, I'm wondering what the point of UPC moving the timeshifters weeks (or even months) in advance and not even giving a reason for it? To me it makes sense to have the time shift slots right next to the main channel, but I know others thinks different...0 -

You don't need pay TV, you can reluctantly go with the 4 free to air channels or 4 and half including RTÉ News Now
You seem to think everyone lives in apartments in Dublin, they don't.
As I said even before the merger of all of the cable companies around Dublin, each had a monopoly in their specific areas.
For Example
In Waterford city UPC have a monopoly in cable while in Dungarvan Casey Cable have a monopoly in cable. If UPC bought Casey it would make no real difference to Casey customers or UPC customers. However casey customers would be bitterly disappointed especially with customer care, I am guessing that Casey is a small business with good quality friendly customer care, I could be wrong.Anyway, I'm wondering what the point of UPC moving the timeshifters weeks (or even months) in advance and not even giving a reason for it?

Yeah I see the reason for the time shifts beside each other. Really the BAI should have an EPG policy for cable providers. As pointed out Bravo and E! are in the 500s and Smile and Buzz are in the 100s. (It really should be the other way around).
I would rather the BAI forced UPC to have DCTV in the 100s and Smile and Buzz in the 800s.0 -
