Saorview or SHAREview.

St Senan

I got a call from a woman today who wanted a price for SHAREview. I said to her it's Saorview she said no SHAREview I asked her what that was???. She said abruptly to me that I am the person who does this for a living and that I should know what SHAREview is. She said that she had already been talking to a Rep who was calling door to door in her area.
Then it clicked with me some chancer is going around door to door flogging dodgy

---

sharing systems on the strength of the switch-over. I tried to explain to this woman what she was talking about is illegal. She said to me that I should do some more research on what I am selling that no way is she going to get me to supply her with 7 digital Irish channels when this other Guy will supply her with hundreds of digital channels including movies and sports.

Shareview,unreal.Plus she wouldn't listen to sense.It's these people who get scammed then whinge about it even though they were warned in the first place.

steveon

Everyday I get people ringing about them and I warn against them, then they buy them elsewhere and ring me late at nite when they stop working ???? Then I say ring the person you bought it from...I tried his phone is off for the past 2 days omg......

I think this is a sort of thing that's becoming alarmingly common (the thing that cannot be discussed).

I was with one fella delivering a TV one day who had such, bragging ensued.

I so happened to be back at his place to realign his dish more recently, the system that was once great is now just a glorified FTA system. His "supplier" disappeared and he had choice words to say about the whole thing.

Shareview though... hehe. Quite clever

In reality Tommy,PJ, Gaybo, Ear to the ground and the GAA are not getting the Proper information out to the public it is as simple as that.
RTE/Saorview now is the time to sort out this whole Approval, Logo use and Registration once and for all before all the honest TAX paying installers are out of business. The Day by Day genuine installer would have gotten the proper information out to the public if he had no restrictions placed on him.

As you well know by now it's Soarview, repeat after me "SOREVIEW".;)

Sounds like a simple misunderstanding, she simply wanted some help with her portfolio. Send her here

Are you really sure she wasnt pulling your leg?

I totally agree with you there Scaller, I was with a customer today who had UPC analaog and he taught he had to upgrade to Digital in order to continue receiving tv. He was delighted when I told him he didnt need to scrap his analog Upc service that I had previously distributed around the house to continue receiving picture in those rooms....

Steveon. A customer of mine phoned me last Monday night he was informed by a door to door rep that he needs to sign up to Sky to still continue to receive Irish channels after OCT.
Now this poor man is a widower on a pension who has a Freesat Sd system along with a CRT TV receiving 4 analogue channels that I installed for him a few years ago. I have informed him to wait as long as he can to either purchase a Receiver or IDTV and now some MUPPET has told him bull **** to gain a sale.

Ha. no way this woman was deadly serious. The amount of false Info out in the public regarding saorview is ridiculous.

Are UPC not phasing out their analog?

@Scaller, you have to give them some credit. Was in library and picked up their highly informative booklet by Gaybo, which goes in to some detail. They had hundreds of copies available for anyone to take away. Now I know it is Seachtain na Gaeilge, but there wasnt a single one with a cupla focail as Bearla, out of all the boscai they had received. Later I found a different one I had picked up somewhere several weeks ago and thought I'd be able to compare the 2 and polish up mo Gaeilge techneolaiochta.
Again it was entirely as Gaeilge. Now I wasnt aware that Dublin has been subsumed by the Gaeltacht, but you can breathe easy that all native speakers with fluent technical Irish have been fully catered for wrt RadharcSaor™. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Im sure UPC will in time phase out their analog service but thats not in the shortterm plan and I wreckin it helps them hold onto people...I simply meant he was happy for now that he didnt have to spend any more money at the moment as things are tight for him and he will change to saorview in the future should the analog be phased out.

Its common where I am for sky door to door reps to tell customers that they need to upgrade their standard boxes to HD so they will still have Irish channels after analogue switch off. The whole thing is getting out of hand and their seems to be no point mentioning to saorview that this kind of thing is going on.

Tommy & PJ detract from the message and are a waste of money. It's not A Children's channel RTE are needing to sell.

Judging by some of the tales we read in here, it's not far off like teaching/selling something to a child.

The reason they gave us for picking Tommy and PJ didn't make a lot of sense either did it?

The amount of people chancing their arm around the DSO/ASO process is unreal. Round my area its adverts "Sign up to Saorview Free-To Air Satellite TV - 300 channels" or something. So many things wrong with that sentence.

I'm going to close this thread on the basis that:
a - We already have enough threads complaining about this sort of behaviour.
b - We don't discuss card sharing and while there hasn't really been any attempt to discuss it on thread I don't want to leave open the possiblity that it might degerate into it.
