    Does anyone else in Port have Chorus rather than Sky???

    They are driving me insane!! Why is it that every single weekend there has to be some problem or other with at least one of the channels!?

    For the last I don't know how many weeks there has been problems!

    Gonna get Sky out to fit a dish!

    A friend of mine whom works for Chorus told me they are having terrible problems with "retransmissions" from the Dunmurray transmitter which you will be working off if you are in Portarlington.

    Guys, Chorus are on their last legs with me... I was seriously going to move to Sky 6months ago and said that I would give them another go...

    Channels are freezing constantly in Portarlington the last week or two... last night was the pits!!! going to call them and tell them I am moving away unless it's sorted in next week (dont think that will mean anything to them however...

    Hi everyone i just specifically registered to this site to have a rant about Chorus. I have Chorus for about 3 years now (i originally had Sky). I really dont know why i changed coz ive had nothing but trouble with it. I live in Baltinglass, Wicklow so the problems are not just confined to one area, and it only has to rain and the channels are gone. I am DEFINITELY changing back to Sky before the winter comes back, i cant stand another long and dark winter with no television. The channels are gone most of the winter but they are still quick enough to send their bill every month, so basically we are paying for a service that Chorus, in all fairness are not really providing. I know Sky might have problems too sometimes but not near as often as Chorus do. And at least with Sky you know when it rains that your telly is going to work. A lot more i could say but i dont think is printable. I sympatise with anyone who has Chorus, i know how you all feel. Chorus have had plenty of opportunity to provide a better service but have failed to do so, at the end of the day Chorus will be the biggest loser of all.:mad: Phew glad i got that out of my system.

    How is it? One TV-Set per one Sky decoder? If I'd like to have few TVs at home I'd have to have several boxes?

    Yes officially it is Peter. We got a Sky+ box and a normal box. However we have 5 tv's...I know, I know :rolleyes: My hubby is a bit of a McGyver and a gadget freak so he has linked the tv's to the various boxes and also set things up so that we can still change channels in every room via some infrared thing or other.

    I do know that you can buy video senders from Argos and the like that would do the same job though..
