Interesting, I never knew that Ben.

It's also interesting that UPC Ireland are now part of the same family again. IIRC NTL sold it off to LG, NTL became Virgin Media who were of course taken over by LG themselves!

I would agree that UPC Ireland is much closer to VM with regards to channels than the others, so can't understand the criticism this thread has received.

It's a shame we won't be getting RTE1 etc as a lot of people here in the UK would like to have these channels, but I can't see it happening due to rights issues.

Can't see any reason why TG4 couldn't be carried for Irish speakers though.
