There should be one in most of the en-suite bedrooms, only gives access to RTE 1 and 2 though, full cable in the living room

Why wouldn't you be able to play on a console in your own room? All you need are plugs, not a TV socket.

while we're on the topic of TV....what channels does Corrib Village have??

theintern

As far as I know they have the usual NTL/UPC channels, the 4 Irish ones, Discovery, MTV, E4, the 2 BBC's and..em.. not much else if I remember rightly.

Is it still the UPC channels? can you get upgraded to sky sports?

JonSnuuu

I highly doubt Corrib Village of all places will allow you to upgrade to Sky Sports.....

It isn't, that's what it costs according to Corrib Village. Fair play for asking the face price, I know chancers who would have a housemate leave and be told they'd have to find a new housemate and charge them over the price so that they could make a little profit.

Fair enough, though your link is broken, needs to have the h in the http://

I think the price is a ripoff - I'm across the road from the college and its €80 for a double room.

€103 is a rip off for a room, but if people are willing to pay it, you can hardly blame them for setting it at that price

Of course it's a rip off, no doubt about it, but that's the price Corrib Village set and they fill up the place year in year out, so obviously they're going in tangent of the market equilibrium, like Roland pointed out. Considering it is Corrib Village though, I think you'd have to be daft to pay it. *insert heritary shithole comment here*

Anyone who's considering Corrib Village should steer clear. It may be good craic but it costs a fortune and they'll want that fortune up front in a non-refundable payment.

The Cool

I stayed there in first year. People (including 18 year old me) seem to think that that cost per week includes bills etc and there fore may or may not be cheaper in the long run, etc.
It doesn't.
I had a single bedroom sharing an ensuite, in Posh Block as it was called back then (because it was an ensuite block and there were a load of D4 twats and law snobs there). I paid €4,100 for the room for the year - That's from mid September (first years started on the third Monday of September that year, like the 15th or something) and were booted out mid May - so 8 months - so thats about €512 a month (sweet jesus!) On top of that, I paid a deposit of €750. Out of that they took a few hundred for electricity, a bit for security, and charged to replace the building's hoover and lightbulb in the hall. I got €200 back. So I pretty much paid €4650 for the year - €580 a month. (Holy god, I pay €380 for my city centre two-bed luxury apartment now, and think that that's upper-limit!)

To answer your question OP, there are about 18 channels on the tv in the sitting room. It's in Corrib Village's name - they have some deal set up with UPC/NTL so there's not a hope in hell of you getting people in to upgrade it. Also, the internet network is Corrib Village's own, whereby you have your own log in to access the internet, and it tends to cut out every 10 minutes so you have to keep logging in, and that's what you have to put up with unless you get an internet dongle from Meteor or something.
