    WTF!

    What have they done now? I'm presented with a Country seclection screen, then its looking for a three digit UPC Activation code.

    I'm politely reminded that this code can be found in the installation manual!

    Ive been holding on 1908 for the last 20 mins!

    Oh well - no looking at the parade on TV (maybe thats a good thing)

    Depends what part of the country you are in but the Dublin code is 131. Can't remember any of the other areas!

    Thanks squared. The man from UPC eventaully answered and gave me 121, I saw on the next screen that this was for Cork - but he said that this was not an issue! maybe Ill get a local Cork station or two now.

    I have googled "UPC Activation code" and found the following

    121 Cork
    131 Kildare
    132 Dublin
    135 (Works but region unknown)
    141/142/143 Galway
    161/162/163 Kildare?
    201 Limerick
    271 Sligo
    291 Waterford
    361 UPC Ireland

    000 Generic - but seems to work!

    There is probably a full list somewhere on the net, I'm just too lazy to check.
