Tara will be permanently unavailable in ROI

Originally posted by Pat Gleeson on digitalspy[hope u dont mind me copying/pasting your post Pat ]This morning I tuned to Tara, and was greeted by the
banner "This programme is not availble".
I phoned Sky, did all the usual checks.
They said it all OK from Sky's end, so gave me Tara's phone number (which has changed btw.)

The gent at Tara said the following:
As from Monday 16th July, Tara will no longer be available to Sky Digital customers in the Rep. of Ireland.
They had intended this from the beginning, but cited 'technical reasons' for not doing so.
By the way of consolation to people, he said that most of the people who have phoned have been told that most of the programmes on Tara are on RTE anyway.

So there you have it.

This is not such a surprise, if some of the mailings on this forum are anything to go by.

You can confirm this by phoning Tara below.

Ah well. Could see it coming allright.
I'll just have to stick the aerial on the roof for the news every now and then, as there is really nothing on tara that you cant get elsewhere, I'm not too pushed about seeing Marty Whelan on open house and the like.
I hope TV3 comes on board soon there is a niche now on SkyDigi that they could fill.

There's a thread already open about this so maybe we can all keep the "I miss Tara" letters there.
