It's an interesting one.

I had a nightmare getting it set up when I first moved into the house, that was 4 years ago. But I had the TV in 2 rooms (all channels - with the exception of sky sports & movies), Broadband and 2 mobile phones looped into it for 140 a Month. I will say I've never had an issue with the TV package. Broadband is also very stable. The issue with Eir is the supplied router is horrendous. If you do go with it, be prepared to shell out an extra 100 EUR for a decent router, to ship wifi around the house.

In saying that it's that time of the year, when I am out of contract with Eir and I look for other packages, I have found that if you talk to them when coming out of contract also, (And I know there is a forum for this) but the cancellation or loyalty deals you get are decent.

On my investigation at the moment, it looks like you cannot purchase TV with them at the moment as they have a message advising something new is coming - not sure what this is, but I will hold off myself on moving/renewing until we see what comes from this.

When you click on the eir vision website, this is what you get, so you're right, something new seems to be coming for eir tv. Anyone heard any rumours?

No just from independent article. Parent company have a box in France that does well it also says not sure if related though to Thursday release

is_that_so

I've had it for about three years now and have no complaints. The box went about four months ago and they replaced it within 2 days. Bummer about BT but Virgin at least cover some of the football.

The above seems to be the version in France. Netflix is integrated.

This is also mentioned -
'For ADSL subscribers, Freebox Delta can offer combined internet access via DSL and 4G mobile technology in what Free boss Xavier Niel described as “a revolution” for those not able to sign up for fibre-based broadband.'

It might be attractive to Virgin subscribers.

There seems to be plenty of choice from the parent company in France - could be a game changer here

Be interesting to see a review of the Apple TV using this service or similar.

We’ll maybe close this thread. Eir Vision is now permanently discontinued to new customers, so head over to the new thread to discuss eir TV!
