    Hi all

    Currently with UPC and am moving from the city to the country.
    However UPC isn't in the country so they told me I could get the MMDS service for tv, but they wouldn't have all the channels available.

    I was just wondering what channels were on it, and if it was any good?

    Thanks in advance

    If you can only get MMDs at your location it also means no UPC phone or bRoadband

    With MMDS there is no record or HD function

    My parents have MMDS in a rural area, you get the usual rte 1,2 bbc 1 2 utv ch4 more 4 e4 comedy channels. you can subscribe to movies and sports both sky and bt sport.

    To be honest at €32.50 a month stand alone less the 3.50 my upc discount very hard to compete if you want pay tv with a basic sky sub which at the moment is being offered for €21 a month

    However if you factor in subscribing to upc €354 a year or sky €252 a year would it not be an option to go saorview and FTA satellite €250 €350 which is a years sub will go along way to getting a nice set up!

    One other thing to note, MMDS will cease in about 18 months time and UPC are basically winding down the service, 33,600 MMDS subscribers and reducing at last count.

    The MMDS Licences expire in April 2016 and won't be renewed - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=83862302#post83862302 (unless of course UPC bid for the spectrum when it comes up for auction and relaunch MMDS under new technical conditions)

    FYI if you want a pay tv service, there is a graet sky offer with car phone warehouse

    Variety pack and hd for €15 a month normally €51. 12 month contract would be far cheaper with a better channel selection that UPC MMDS!

    MMDS is poor value for Pay TV.
    If you only want Irish & Main UK channels, get TV aerial and Freesat.
    If you want Sky Sports etc, order Sky.
