UPC, a load of Trollop

HarrisonLennon · 2014-01-11 12:51:04

This is complete bum. Hate the fudging whole thing. Moved flat and was forced to get UPC in the new place. Pay a fortune and we don't even get channels like fx. How am I going to watch game of thrones now.. Apparently it doesn't have sky Atlantic even. Is there any UPC unfortunates like me, who have a plan to watch GOT.

Have you contacted them?.

Their excellent customer services team will pass on your views to their superiors straight away ( unfortunately their superiors never get back to you )

Will it be on the NowTV box? It has some Sky Atlantic series.

Found the answer. It (season 4) will be on the NowTV box as catch up. The older series are not on it.

Nothing.

But you get the free trial for £4.99 UK for a month and watch a bunch of GOT episodes on its Sky catch up over the internet. I don't know who that compares price wise to adding FX to your UPC package.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in any area that you get UPC....don't you have the option to get sky as well? How were you "forced" to get UPC? Unless you live in a bunker, you can just stick a sky dish on your house and get them instead. Problem solved.

Many apartments have house rules against satellite dishes.

Really? I always found the picture quality of UPC's SD channels to be woeful.

No need for the snarky sarcastic reply, you may have noticed there are several sky channels available on UPC

What's SKY sports or SKY one doing on UPC. Isn't the clue in the name?
