Eir TV

Finally got fibre broadband yesterday from eir, they gave me the tv package with it ( got very good deal, tv for very little extra ). Quite impressed with the tv, plenty of channels, all the important ones in HD, all the main streaming apps, including RTE Player, though it's not preloaded, you must download it yourself from the Playstore and you can record from almost all channels, including CH4 which I was surprised at. Of course no recording of any BBC or RTE channels, which is a drawback, however the availability of RTE Player does help. If something could be done about some access to recording or some kind of on demand for the BBC channels, it would be quite a good basic tv service for small monthly subscription.

Android box. It's a tiny little thing, about the same size as a Sky Stream box I'd say. Free Amazon Prime Video is a nice addition also.

I'd prefer not to say, it was a salesman at the door, we did quite a bit of negotiating, but he left happy with the sale and Im happy with the deal. I have to complement eir so far ( eir, please don't make me eat my words! ), they have been a pleasure to deal with, the broadband speed (1gb ) is lightening fast, the tv worked within 10 mins, they set up my landline within 24 hours, the installer was a gentleman and did an extremely neat job. They kept me informed by phone, text and email of the progress of installation from ordering to installation. Just do a deal with RTE and BBC to get recording back and it will be the perfect service !!

Can an eir app be put on another android box so I can use it in another room?

Is the interface suitable for an older person on the android box? I'm just thinking of moving an older relative over from VM streaming.

The Apple TV app would be WAY too much for her.

You could buy a "Strong"made android box on Amazon and remotes should be similar

I'm wondering if anyone else has a problem with being logged out of the eir App on an AppleTV box. It happens us from time to time but is normally solved by inputting the credentials or rebooting the box.
Yesterday we were logged out of the box in the living room and couldn't get back in. Our other two AppleTV boxes were working fine. Today, everything is working fine again, once we put in our username and password.

Same as above. Rarely happens, but just force the app to close and open it again. Have never needed to login.

I got eir tv and fibre about a month ago. They gave me two andriod boxes with proper "old fashioned " remotes with buttons. There is a button for Netflix and a button for Prime, one press in and one press straight back to whatever tv channel you were watching. I have an apple box also with the eir app on it, but hardly use it, because the apple remote is a right pain in the butt.

Hi,

Would anyone have a working Eir TV apk for android 11?

Thanks

Many TV remotes work with the AppleTV, as well. I have LG, Samsung and LG Tv"s all working fine.
This will still not give you TV channel numbers, at least I couldn't find a way of doing this.

It's a lot easier when you are using the iPhone remote - as you get a full keyboard.

I get the sense they don't really focus on the product as much as they could - it has very slick aspects, just then … you'd wonder.

isn’t it like 55% 45% so not a huge difference. Thankfully I still got an apple box but with the eir remote which is not as slick as the Apple one. Since they got rid of being able to record on the majority of channels if I was getting an android box of eir would just say no thanks. Except for sport I never watch live tv but the Apple TV at least lets me have access to bbc iPlayer
