Help with choosing Chorus for TV

D2D

Hey all,

My family have Sky in the living room but we're thinking of getting rid of it for Chorus.

I saw on their website that they're offering something called a "Family Sports Pack" for 65e per month with Sky Sports free for 2 months. It seems really good value compared to Sky but is Digital+HD included in this or do you have to pay extra for it?? Also, we would need 3 boxes for multi-room (1 for the living-room and for 2 bedrooms). Can this be done or can you only have 2 boxes max??

We also have broadband from them so would it be posssible to bundle it with the TV pack and pay it all on the 1 bill???

Thanks for any help on this :)

Tbh, I don't really watch channel 5. My mom watches Home & Away on it but it's on RTE the next day. I used to watch the football on it but now, it's normally on Setanta Ireland/ITV4 which is now on Chorus. :)

Hey,
The HD box is not part of that deal but you do get a digital + box similar to Sky+, you can have up to 3 MRV boxes at a cost of 5e pm plus if you already have Broadband that means you will get a 8e discount on your BB pack when you bundle with the TV,

Hope this helps

Thanks campo, this really helps:):)

So to have HD included, would it be 69e (64pm for the pack(with 3 boxes for multi-room) + a fiver for HD). Is that right??

BTW, Sorry if it sounds like I'm HD-obsessed, I have a PS3 and watch a lot of blu-rays on it and am impressed by the sheer amount of detail.

no srry it is 5e each for MRV
So 64e for Family sports pack
15e for MRV

But depending on what BB you have you might be better off going on a different bundle that has HD included after all HD is the same price as a dvr box now

Which BB do you have

Damn, kinda knew it would have been too good to be true. I thought the 5e covered all boxes, not just 1. The Chorus website seems to be fairly misleading to me as it says "Digital Tv w/ ESPN, Sky Sports, Digital+ "& Multi-room viewing"

Sorry but I haven't got a clue what BB we have.

Thanks again campo

Basically what we need from Chorus is Sky Sports and ESPN, Multi-room for 3, Digital+HD and the Disney channels. Any ideas??

Build you pack here and then just add on the cost Multi-room.

Hey guys,

Thanks for your help on this. I think I'm gonna hold off on it for a while. The money does seem a bit steep.

Thanks again:):)
