Get it for the equipment and professional install, then flog the sky+hd box (or get a second hand HD viewing card) and put in a Freesat box after your 12 months, look at the year's viewing as a bonus.

Well its says Original TV Bundle on top of page so it probably is Original.

Not sure why its 44pm after 12 months though.

Did that a few years ago with that in mind and then had kids who like cartoons.:D

Cancelled last year and moved to eircom but their TV is cr@p. Sky then offered me 6 months free and 3 months with 75% off.
I'm now back with eircom for another few months of contract at €10 pm but I'll bite the bullet at this stage to have decent tv.
Ended up getting the groupon deal and will cancel movies as soon as my box is live. 31 days notice needed.

Apologies if this is a stupid question, do you need a satellite dish for sky?

They become free to air once your subscription runs out automatically.

Tho its best to get hold of a UK card to get the full EPG.

how much is one of these cards??

do they have the rte channels on them then?

About €25 once-off payment. No Irish channels. You'll have to get Saorview for those.

Some apartment blocks have a satellite on the roof, in that event you dont need your own dish and would be connected to the communal one. Sky themselves can tell you if you can get connected

Not a clue, tbh. Got mine for £5 about 10 years go iirc.

We had the variety bundle at home and the most watched kids channel was cbeebies, documentaries weren't really watched and music is streamed over YouTube

As for HD the most watched is UTV Ireland (corrie lol) bit closely followed by BBC but this works out cheaper than the original bundle on its own so a good deal I'd say

uck51js9zml2yt

Also available with variety +HD for 26.50

Other provders have deals as well https://switcher.ie/broadband/compare/digital-tv/

Seve OB

anyone interested in this deal... before you pull the trigger, check out Groupon are doing a half price deal on any sky package

Raoul

I asked sky about the groupon deal and they said in the fine print it says you have to take out at least variety, hd and movies/sport. So not half price on any offer.

Edit - I didn't finish my sentence.

How so?

The sports and movies are half price with the groupon deal. The variety bundle is half price and HD is 2/3 off.

I hadn't finished off my sentence sorry . Not half price on any package.

uck51js9zml2yt

But from the Talk to thread, they said you could cancel movies/sports as its an add on without penalty with 31 days notice.
So 19 euro for the TV package for a year and you just pay for Movies/Sports for a month, assuming you call to cancel when your account activates.
