Just got a letter in the door this morn stating from the 25th May UPC will launch their on demand TV.

"Over one third of homes in Dublin will get On Demand instantly on their current UPC TV service.

Whats happening to analogue VHF cabled areas are they giving us new digital boxes?

 

[wheelo]

No, my friend they are not, they are going to continue giving us the basic cable (17 stations) until we decide we want to come into the tech age from the stone agelol yet, I myself am happy enough with the basic service.

Hi folks, wheelo are you missing some channels with the analogue? I'm with sky but have broadband with upc so I still can get the analogue for all other rooms in the house, noticed mtv and Nickelodeon are missing, could be others.

 

[wheelo]

No, I have 17:-
BBC 1 +2, UTV, CH 4, RTE 1+ 2, TV3, Sky news, Sky one, E4, MTV, TG4, Setanta, Discovery, Comedy, Living, 3E

 

[axxxo]

I just tried another scan now myself and I'm missing mtv, discovery, comedy and living, maybe because I'm not paying for them? Ah well, back to sky ...
My friend has upc on demand and along with the normal channel functions I found it extremely slow to respond, pricey too so it can be (for a free service) until they do something about channel response times with their boxes and a disgusting menu I'll never go back.
