E4 +1
More4
4Music

and in case you didn't have enough Made in Essex and Chelsea Shore, you'll now have

4-7.

Apart from some of their low brow stuff, Channel 4 have a lot of decent programming on their channels. I certainly wont object to getting another free channel off them, especially if it leaves more space for decent programming on other 4 channels

The new one is going to be all of the programmes from Channel 4 from the previous week repeated.

I know it's not a bad thing to have more channels (especially free ones), but I just find it funny just how many virtually identical channels they have.

I also forgot the two FilmFour channels in the above list.

I don't know about you guys but I'm counting down the days until I get RTE1+1 on the digital switchover.

Sky got the HD version of RTE2 (it's channel 20? I believe) so I reckon eventually they'll get all of the ones Saorview has.

I hooked up Saorview to my bedroom TV, and it turns out Saorview is the only thing that has near perfect reception in this area. :P

The downside to the HD is you need a HD box and you have to ring up sky:( pain in the A

Well i should hope Saorview has perfect reception after all its digital but ive kinda lost track of everything ppl in north,east and west clare are giving out about x,y and z over transmitters are they not all the bloody same

If you have the HD box you can get RTE2HD for free.

No need to ring Sky...

Go to Services > Add Channels. Then it's:

10.744
H
22.0
5/6

Has to be on the HD box though, we have one of each and it only shows up on the HD box (which is ironically, the box that isn't hooked to the HDTV :pac:)

Also has to be an ROI Sky card.

Thought you were doing bad

Thats a bloody landline which thinks im in fecking offaly or some place like that. Must get onto eircom Monday. Apparently im living halfway up the country. when in fact im in Clare

flyswatter · 01-07-2012 01:46AM

I think 24mb is the max we can get here, but it's expensive.

Also, yay for Dundalk.

wnolan1992 · 01-07-2012 01:51AM

It's never this fast in the middle of the day. Hence my insomnia. :pac:

PseudoFamous · 01-07-2012 02:02AM

A relatively bad result for me, I'm on wifi atm. Usually sits around 6.8 down, 3.3 up. Ping is usually about 60ms.

Sad state of affairs when this is the best so far.

flyswatter · 01-07-2012 02:04AM

UPC are the only provider up to the standard of the UK companies and they have limited coverage. Broadband is a joke in Ireland, though in fairness, I am lucky our house got it in 2006, which is good going.

Togepi · 01-07-2012 02:08AM

We only got proper broadband when I went into Leaving Cert.

Worst. Timing. Ever!

Broadband in the UK is pretty shit, tbh. UPC are at 3x the UK's nearest equivalent by speed.

That said, we actually have one of the best fibre backbones in the world (the MAN) but no-one wants to take up the cost of installing new cabinets, as Irish consumers are flaky and will supposedly take the cheaper option over the more reliable

BT in the Uk have 76mb for 26 pounds p/m sterling and that's including calls.

From what I've heard, that's extremely hard to come by.
