no lads no extra thats a defo ,one box main room I asked for two boxs for kids room and asked for only disney nothing else realistically why would a 3 and 6 year old want the other channels anyway they told me no sir you need the ditigal packages and then you pay extra for disney .i defo pay 138 and no movies or sports ,now the question is are you all getting a two months discount sort of thing and then is goes up after that .but i could not get the disney for the kids unless i took the other package and ill be ringing then tomorrow to check it out .the theiving C*** .
thats if i get throught i keep you informed

bill is right lads be carefull if you get get addional points, thats where my bill is going.they charge 27 euro for the extra point and box per room ,when I asked about the ?5.00 multiroom ,thats a new thing for new customers but thats only the box not the cable point. and i was right you cant get disney now to clarify "disney" I mean cinemagic thats 8.00 euro without the max package also you cant down grade to the new customer 5 euro multiroom without losing disney .if you have one box lets say a recorder box and run a cable to another room you cant get another box from upc unless they either cancel your extisting box or you pay 50 euro for some one to come out and run the cable for you ,then you pay for the new point and extra box all this adds up.So in short if you get three boxs and get disney you will be paying 138 every two months.take of the cine magic and all the rest will cost you 130.00 euro.is sky any cheaper

yip tell em yer going to sky, say your not happy with this, why should you be paying for points when no one else is, new or even exisiting multiroom punters, play hard ball and see if they relent!

That is ridiculous!! They put an extra point in for my parents for free. Someone is being a smart fecker in there mate. As the lads say, I'd call up and tell them to stick it and I bet you'll see a change of attitude in them. Tell them you'd rather pay for a decent service than be ripped off by their shower.

now to clarify .they where charging me for a second recorder box which i didnt have so minus a tenner the disney package changed in november so playhouse disney and one or two others are now on the max package so minus ?16.00 per 2 months .but they are adamant that the ?8.50 is charged for addional points to new and existing customers so check with them lads and they say the ?5.00 is only for two months because i asked about their web site.
Hey foalteam will you let me know how you get on with there broadband because mickha is right eircoms is rubbish there contention ratio is to high. so I might jump to there broadband

if you order online they credit you 20 euros per box and if you install yourself they credit you 10 euro per box
