    lmao great ad (dont have sound here in work so sorry if i missed something with my questions below).

    Did notice however when the flatrate 'billboard' came up the 180hrs appeared at bottom of screen. Some people here will probably complain a bit over calling it flat-rate.

    Still must say i enjoyed it. (did u get the ad err sponosored a bit with the maxol/o2 signs? )

    Class ad. :)

    BK, O2 are in it 'cos UTV won an O2 Media Award and it says "supported by Maxol" at the end so yea.. I'm guessing they did sponsor it.

    Does that mean we'll be seeing UTV CD's in Maxol stations?

    talk about great timing. Just logged on here to read this forum at 7:11pm and switched straight to UTV and lo and behold there it was. Good ad. I'll be doing my damdest to get people to switch to UTVip but so far I've been shot down nearly everytime because of the telephony package. The main reason being some people use a seperate company for international calls which is done by adding a prefix to the number for very cheap calls. When you're with UTV it seems you can't avail of these services. Maybe there is something that could be done about this. My dad would love to go with UTV but can't because of this international service. Malcome/Martin......do you think anything could be done about this?

    How can this be true when you can dial 13666 to route calls through eircom that will show up on your eircom bill?

    My dad uses some company for international calls where he adds a prefix. He was told though he has to be with €ircon to be able to use this service and he can't if his CPS is changed.

    No, the prefix works with UTV CPS- I do it all the time.

    Absolutely right, especially SkyDigital viewers like me who for some unknown reason can NOT get UTV in the Irish Republic?..

    It is possible that the UTV advertising agency is unaware of this fact!, lets hope for their sakes that they have now been enlightened in their favour.

    A little off subject but I believe relevant in this instance!.

    I was in Dublin Airport last week and when we were collecting our bags there are new Flat Screen TV's with advertising etc for Irish stuff on them. There was a UTVip ad on it but it was the old UTVip ad with no mention of UTVXL. Maybe you should get on to them about changing that???

    I can confirm that it will work. For example, we are with EsatBT CPS (not for long!), but can still use 13636 to route calls through VarTec Telecom.
